Religious manuscripts from ancient and early colonial Mexico offer a direct pathway into indigenous worldviews through the uniquely Mesoamerican medium of pictography. During the thousands of years preceding Spanish invasion, a complex calendrical system developed in the region, forming the basic organising principle of this pictorial language. This book offers new interpretations and insights on both calendrics and the related iconography of Mesoamerican religious manuscripts, based on the author's field work in the Sierra Mazateca in northern Oaxaca. Detailed calendrical analysis is included, along with audio recordings of chants, prayers, and ceremonies available as an online download. The author's novel approach questions accepted notions of divination, chronology, and the dichotomy between ritual and historical time.

Le sujet de ce livre n'est pas la peinture animalière. Il s'agit d'un essai illustré sur la place, la fonction et la symbolique de la représentation de l'animal dans le champ pictural, de la Renaissance au XIXe siècle. Comprendre pourquoi un animal est présent dans une oeuvre où nulle habitude ne l'impose à priori. Dans la lignée de Daniel Arasse, Nadeije Laneyrie-Dagen vise ici à approfondir la compréhension des oeuvres à travers une observation du détail, une "microhistoire" de l'art dans laquelle se confronte le voir et les savoirs (histoire, esthétique, technique ...). Dans une langue alerte et aussi précise que l'impose son approche, elle offre au lecteur une sensibilisation du regard et des clés de compréhension sur un motif important de la peinture occidentale.
