In The Search for the Codex Cardona, Arnold J. Bauer tells the story of his experiences on the trail of a cultural treasure, a Mexican “painted book” that first came into public view at Sotheby’s auction house in London in 1982, nearly four hundred years after it was presumably made by Mexican artists and scribes. On folios of amate paper, the Codex includes two oversized maps and 300 painted illustrations accompanied by text in sixteenth-century paleography. The Codex relates the trajectory of the Nahua people to the founding of the capital of Tenochtitlán and then focuses on the consequences of the Spanish conquest up to the 1550s. If authentic, the Codex Cardona is an invaluable record of early Mexico. Yet there is no clear evidence of its origin, what happened to it after 1560, or even where it is today, after its last known appearance at Christie’s auction house in New York in 1998. Bauer first saw the Codex Cardona in 1985 in the Crocker Nuclear Laboratory at the University of California, Davis, where scholars from Stanford and the University of California were attempting to establish its authenticity. Allowed to gently lift a few pages of this ancient treasure, Bauer was hooked. By 1986, the Codex had again disappeared from public view. Bauer’s curiosity about the Codex and its whereabouts led him down many forking paths—from California to Seville and Mexico City, to the Firestone Library in Princeton, to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles and Christie’s in New York—and it brought him in contact with an international cast of curators, agents, charlatans, and erudite book dealers. The Search for the Codex Cardona is a mystery that touches on issues of cultural patrimony, the workings of the rare books and manuscripts trade, the uncertainty of archives and evidence, and the ephemerality of the past and its remains.

Trail of Footprints offers an intimate glimpse into the commission, circulation, and use of indigenous maps from colonial Mexico. A collection of sixty largely unpublished maps from the late sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries and made in the southern region of Oaxaca anchors an analysis of the way ethnically diverse societies produced knowledge in colonial settings. Mapmaking, proposes Hidalgo, formed part of an epistemological shift tied to the negotiation of land and natural resources between the region’s Spanish, Indian, and mixed-race communities. The craft of making maps drew from social memory, indigenous and European conceptions of space and ritual, and Spanish legal practices designed to adjust spatial boundaries in the New World. Indigenous mapmaking brought together a distinct coalition of social actors—Indian leaders, native towns, notaries, surveyors, judges, artisans, merchants, muleteers, collectors, and painters—who participated in the critical observation of the region’s geographic features. Demand for maps reconfigured technologies associated with the making of colorants, adhesives, and paper that drew from Indian botany and experimentation, trans-Atlantic commerce, and Iberian notarial culture. The maps in this study reflect a regional perspective associated with Oaxaca’s decentralized organization, its strategic position amidst a network of important trade routes that linked central Mexico to Central America, and the ruggedness and diversity of its physical landscape.

Desde los primeros rastros de los que tenemos conocimiento, individuos y sociedades se han relacionado de manera disímil. La lucha por espacios de poder ha sido una constante que ha llevado al conflicto, la negociación y la resistencia. La presente obra recoge aportaciones de sólidos especialistas que abordan el tema desde distintas perspectivas, cronologías y espacios. El poder ha articulado y/o quebrado redes familiares, políticas, económicas y culturales. En la historia de América el componente étnico ha añadido un elemento distorsionador en esas dinámicas de sometimiento y resistencia. Desde diferentes enfoques y en diferentes tiempos, los trabajos de esta publicación entran en la complejidad de las tensiones sociales que derivan en conflicto, negociación y/o resistencia. Las contribuciones abordan desde la manera en que las fuentes reflejaron o distorsionaron la realidad prehispánica a las fórmulas coloniales y republicanas de ejercicio de la autoridad y las reacciones que provocaron. La guerra explícita o soterrada está presente como fórmula para resolver por la fuerza el conflicto después de haberse intentado, o no, la negociación. Los subalternos ocupan un lugar destacado en el libro, especialmente los indígenas que lucharon por su tierra y su manera de situarse en el mundo, los afroamericanos desarraigados e inermes, y la mujer que se rebeló contra el estado que le era otorgado y luchó por un espacio propio en la sociedad y la cultura. Todos estos escenarios y otros más se cruzan en este caleidoscopio de muchas caras
