UCLA Latin American Studies Series volume 27. 1st edition.The main sources of classical Nahuatl studies have been splendid, elaborately illustrated documents fully deserving their status as "codices." Their contents, often pre-Columbian in emphasis, are legends, annals, chronicles and poems. Few are aware that there is another vein of Nahuatl texts equal rich and very different, more embedded in post-conquest times, more reflective of the dynamics of social and cultural change. A mass of records concerning the everyday business of the Indian community of colonial Mexico exists in Nahuatl wills, land transactions, municipal council minutes, local tax records, and a rich variety of petitions and…

It became known for its innovative format that combined major research papers with responses solicited from the field. The format, now known as the "CA treatment" was unique in its time and was copied by other journals such as Behavioral and Brain Sciences. While the journal has changed over the years, its original principles are still clearly present and can be traced back to the unique collaboration between the Foundation, led by Paul Fejos,and the…
