Readings on Moctezuma

[Michael Swanton]

I would
suggest adding the work of Antonio Aimi to this useful list of “revisionist”
scholarship on Moteuczoma.

 

Aimi, Antonio. 2002. La “vera” visione dei vinti: la Conquista
del Messico nelle fonti azteche. Roma: Bulzoni.

 

_____. 2001. Il retorno del Serpente Piumato: Cortés inventa
il più “famoso” dei miti aztetechi. Studi di letterature ispano-americane, 33:
7-43.

 

_____. 1996. I presagi della Conquista e la “hybris” di
Motecuhzoma: la “vera” visione dei vinti. Quaderni di letterature iberiche e
iberoamericane, 25: 23-64.

I haven't seen the new Moctezuma exhibit, but readers who want to read
some of the recent "revisionist" scholarship on the Mexica king can look
at some of the following works:
