New Book

[John F. Schwaller]

I have just received word of a new book:

_Xipe Totec: Notre seigneur l'ecorche_ by Anne-Marie Vie-Wohrer
(Mexico: Centre Francais d'Etudes Mexicaines et Centroamericaines, 2000)

In French with summaries in English and Spanish

"This publication is dedicated to the analysis of the deity representation,
well known for the flaying ritual celebrated on his festival day.  The
first volume offers the method used for the pictographic study and its
application.  The second volume contains plates of pictographs gathered in
44 pre- or post- columbian manuscripts to illustrate the deciphering method"
