Olin

[Gordon Whittaker]

Dear Paul,

A paper devoted entirely to Olin (but focused on the aspect related to
earthquakes) has been published recently in the journal Indiana and can be
downloaded at:
<http://www.iai.spk-berlin.de/publikationen/indiana/bisherige-ausgaben/indiana-23.html>.

It's in German, but this is a hurdle to be overcome if you need
information on Olin for academic purposes.

Here are the refs.:

Thiemer-Sachse, Ursula
Olin. Zur Bedeutung von Erdbeben und deren Registrierung bei den Azteken.
Indiana 23 (2006): 309-344.

It is the most detailed study of Olin available, as far as I am aware.
However, the definitive study of the subject, which would require a
thorough command of Nahuatl and of Nahuatl writing and iconography, has
yet to be written.

I hope this helps.

Best,
Gordon
