THE FOUNDATION RESEARCH DEPARTMENT
Mesoamerican Language Texts Digitization Project
The indigenous peoples of Mexico and northern Central America have a writing tradition that dates to ancient times, although the construction of grammars, vocabularies, and other primarily linguistic documents has a relatively short history. Serious scholarly treatment of indigenous languages of the newly colonized territories began in the sixteenth century, and was well established during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when published works began emanating from printing presses at Mexico City, Guatemala, and elsewhere. The most notable pioneering efforts in the study of the vernacular languages of Mesoamerica can be identified with the evangelization efforts or with the so-called &Spiritual Conquest& of the region entrusted to the regular orders of the Augustinians, Dominicans, Franciscans, Jesuits, and Mercedarians (Ricard 1966).
Missionary Linguists
The knowledge of indigenous languages is a machine de guerre for missionaries, past and present. The first and most important duty was to acquire an oral command of these languages and sometimes to study and codify them for the purpose of teaching their companions. The language study of missionaries was utilitarian and subordinate to their preoccupation with spreading the gospel. Missionary activities were conceived in the Ignatian spirit as military campaigns conducted against the devil and his tools in this world, and, seen in this context, the indigenous languages were necessarily weapons of war. The acquisition of indigenous languages was not uninspired by a quest for knowledge, but rather as a means of cooperating in the divine plan of salvation. Thus, manuscripts and other materials used in the learning process could acquire special virtues. Learning these languages from written works alone proved difficult, although the earliest manuscripts were intended for such use.
Methods of Language Acquisition
The essential difficulty confronting the missionary linguist consisted of analyzing and describing the structure of languages which were completely different from familiar European languages. The initial reaction to this divergence was bewilderment and the assumption that the new language was imperfect and lacked rules.
The influence of classical and general grammar on the writings of missionaries was considerable. The various approaches tried by early missionaries to acquire native languages are detailed in many religious histories. However, the pattern of language acquisition and study established in the first missions was generally followed in subsequent enterprises and settlements. This pattern deviated little from modern field methods as far as the basic procedure was concerned. First, missionaries sought an informant, bilingual if possible, and through a series of questions and answers began to record basic vocabularies and language structure. These efforts were crude and it was expected that subsequent checks and revisions would be necessary. After a sufficient number of notes were collected, missionaries, working singly or in groups, proceeded to discover the evident linguistic structure.
After the initial period of expansion, missionaries newly arrived from Spain were assisted by more experienced colleagues and underwent regular instruction in the native languages, either at the assigned mission station or in one of the central convent houses. Transient Indians were used as informants, and newcomers did regular class work under an assigned instructor.
The preoccupation of the missionary, after the acquisition of a basic working knowledge of the language, was to prepare a list of words and expressions and a fundamental grammar. This was eventually followed by the translation of liturgical texts, simple prayers and songs, and an outline catechism. The translation of important Biblical passages, along with homilies explaining them, and the preparation of a book of rites (i.e., administration of the sacraments) would eventually follow.
The preparation of such materials was rarely the work of a single person, but rather composed by a team of missionaries, or by a succession of individuals in the same mission station, each adding a few items, and copying and editing materials as they were inherited by predecessors. These texts were then used in the daily work in the mission, which consisted mostly of catechism classes for children and adults, administration of the sacraments, the conducting of special public devotions, and the visiting of families and groups of people to practice charity and induce conversions.
Range of Missionary Language Texts
Early missionary writings in indigenous languages represent two principal types of works: grammatical or lexicographical, and religious. The grammars, usually termed artes, have proved to be valuable to later scholars interested in the structure of languages, and some of the vocabularios of the early Spanish clergy (e.g., Alonso Molina's 1571 Vocabulario en lengua mexicana y castellana) have never been excelled. Although these writers tried to fit native languages into the unwieldy molds of the classical grammars, they recorded important observations and compiled thousands of words which have been the foundation for more recent efforts.
Another manifestation of the desire to implant Spanish civilization and culture in the Americas was the introduction of the printing press. This was decided upon about 1533 and John Cromberger was persuaded to undertake the enterprise. In 1539 he established a branch of his Seville office in Mexico City and entered into a contract with Juan Pablos, a native of Lombardy, to print books in Mexico bearing the inscription Impresso en Casa de Juan Cromberger.
Because of the early printing in New Spain, many of the linguistic efforts of the Spanish clergy have been preserved. The prototypes of Spanish literature in Indian languages of Mexico are found in the works on Nahuatl, since this language was the one heard in the region where the Spaniards first established themselves. Later there appeared writings in Huastec, Otomi, Tarascan, Totonacan, Mayan, Mixtec, Zapotec, and so forth. Within sixty years after the initial arrival of the Spaniards there were grammars, dictionaries, and religious books available in all of these languages. Much of the material was printed and, in some cases, in extra editions.
Capabilities of Missionary Linguists
The capabilities of early missionary linguists may be inferred from the grammars, vocabularies, and other linguistic manuscripts which were used in convents for the recording, learning, and teaching of native populations. These documents emphasize what were perceived to be the most outstanding features of these languages, features worth publishing for the benefit of the curious and learned in Europe. The printed works also represent the only source of information on the subject readily available during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Personal subjective assessments as recorded in historical narratives provide the primary evidence of linguistic proficiency. Such documents suggest that new arrivals were able to teach simple prayers to children in a relatively short period of time. It is unclear whether &teaching& involved explanations of Christian doctrine or simply the presentation of prayers for recital. Similarly there must have been a difference in rate of learning between early missionaries and subsequent ones. Individual ability remained the main variable for indigenous language acquisition. Little is known of the linguistic skills of the average missionary, although there is a record of extreme cases of individuals whose linguistic talent was obviously outstanding, or of those who failed in some aspect of their missionary work because of an inability to master an indigenous language.
Post-Colonial Study of Indigenous Languages
A resurgence of interest in the native languages of Mexico and Central America during the nineteenth century resulted in the reprinting of important earlier works, the initial printing of older documents, and the beginning of non-Latinate linguistic descriptions which accompanied the development of linguistics as a science in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (Roys 1952; Scholes 1952; Tozzer 1921; Weeks 1990).
Many of the early ecclesiastical writings that survived the colonial period in Mexico and northern Central America were preserved in a limited number of church and official archives. Unfortunately, the period after independence of the region from Spain was characterized by the dispersion and, in some cases, the destruction of entire archives. For example, nearly all of the civil and religious archives of northern Yucatan were destroyed during the well-known Maya Caste War or Insurrection of 1847. During the revolutionary period in Mexico between 1900 and 1915, peasant armies destroyed many library and archival collections throughout central and southern Mexico. The bishop of Chiapas, Francisco Orozco y Jimenez collected all known manuscripts of historical and linguistic importance to Chiapas into a central episcopal archive. This archive was later used as a stable with &the horses eating up the parchment.&
This period of political upheaval witnessed the removal of priceless manuscripts for sale in Europe and the United States. Important collections were sold or otherwise dispersed at this time. Stringent laws were passed in response to the removal of cultural patrimony but these appear to have been ineffective as evidenced by the apparent case with which important manuscripts appeared in several great library collections in Europe and the United States.
Mesoamerican Language Texts Digitization Project
The Mesoamerican Language Texts Digitization Project developed from a desire to make available to scholars, students, and enthusiasts world-wide, a selection of primary documents pertaining to the ethnohistory and linguistics of the indigenous populations of Mexico and northern Central America. This is a collaborative arrangement between the Sandra Noble, Ph.D., Director, Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. (FAMSI) and the Libraries of the University of Pennsylvania. The selection of titles to be included was made by John M. Weeks, Ph.D., Librarian of the University of Pennsylvania Museum. The scanning and production of the images was under the supervision of Michael Ryan, Ph.D., Director, and Greg Bear, Manager/IS Specialist, Schoenberg Center for Electronic Text and Image (SCETI), University of Pennsylvania Libraries. Metadata development and original cataloging was facilitated by Nancy M. Shawcross, Ph.D., Curator of Manuscripts, and Amey Hutchins, Manuscripts Cataloger, Annenberg Rare Book and Manuscript Library, University of Pennsylvania Libraries. At FAMSI in Crystal River, Sandy Mielke continues as the &Uber webmeister who can create order out of chaos.
Materials to be digitized and made available on the FAMSI website will derive from the personal research collections assembled by the German physician Carl Hermann Berendt and the North American anthropologist Daniel Garrison Brinton. Biographical notes and statements on the historical development of these collections are available online (Weeks ).
