Material-analytical and cultural-historical examinations of colonial-period manuscripts from Mexico in Berlin and Cracow

克拉科夫的Staatsbibliothek zu柏林和Biblioteka Jagiellonska拥有几份有启发性的手稿：土著和殖民时期的抄本。这些作品以一种特殊的方式反映了阿兹特克文化以及西班牙殖民尺子与土著人民之间的相互关系。这一独特、多样的库存不仅包括土著人口的原始手稿，还包括西班牙语手稿，其中一些是纳瓦特尔和西班牙语的阿兹特克原始手稿的改编或副本。在一项与自然科学家和人文学者合作的跨学科研究计划中，柏林和克拉科夫的手稿将接受全面的跨学科审查，到目前为止，这些手稿只有几个已经处理过。该计划关注于各种问题。库存的文化历史处理首先解决了编纂方面的问题，但也解决了艺术历史方面的问题。因此，其目的是，首先，对各种前西班牙和殖民时期的文本及其特点进行研究。除了研究文字和图片之间的联系外，对图片节目的分析将发挥核心作用。这些手稿在多大程度上反映了殖民主义？阿兹特克的演示文稿是抄袭了西班牙的图片内容还是被西班牙的图片内容取代了，还是更像是一种综合或混合的风格？除此之外，调查阿兹特克人的历史、他们的肖像和文字，以及他们在殖民时期之前和期间的制图非常重要。随着人文学者的审查，对书写和绘制人物所使用的材料以及书写表面的自然科学分析发挥了重要作用。材料分析可以提供有关手稿历史的信息。随着颜色和书写材料的首次确定，材料科学分析将确定哪些单独的碎片属于哪些手稿。区分不同的材料也将使识别副本成为可能。

Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin and Biblioteka Jagiellonska in Cracow possess several illuminated manuscripts: indigenous and colonial-period codices. These reflect in a special way Aztec culture and the mutual relations between the Spanish colonial rulers and the indigenous population. This unique, heterogeneous stock includes not only original manuscripts of the indigenous population, but also Spanish manuscripts, some of which are adaptations or copies of the original Aztec manuscripts in the Náhuatl and Spanish languages. In an interdisciplinary research plan with natural scientists and humanities scholars, the manuscripts in Berlin and Cracow, only a few of which have been processed so far, will be subjected to a comprehensive, interdisciplinary examination. The plan focuses on various questions.The cultural-historical processing of the stock addresses, first, codicological, but also art-historical questions. The aim is thus, first, to conduct research on the various pre-Spanish and colonial-period texts and their characters. Along with examining the connection between text and picture, the analysis of the pictorial program will play a central role. To what degree is the colonization reflected in the manuscripts? Were the Aztec presentations copied or replaced by Spanish pictorial content, or is there rather a synthesis or mixture of styles? Beyond that, investigating the history of the Aztecs, their iconography and script, and their cartography immediately before and during the colonial period is important.Along with examinations by humanities scholars, natural scientific analyses of the materials used in writing and drawing characters and of the writing surfaces play an important role. Material analysis can provide information about the history of the manuscripts. Along with the first-ever determination of the coloring and writing materials, a materials-scientific analysis will determine which individual fragments belong to which manuscripts. Distinguishing among materials will also make it possible to identify copies.
