Acknowledgments

I have had this project in mind for many years and have worked on it betwixt and between, accruing many debts along the way. I would like to thank the Colgate University Research Council for funding numerous related research trips as well as two courses in Nahuatl at the Yale Summer Language Institute. Recently, I received grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Philosophical Society for my research into Nahuatl annals, and as I pursued that project, I gained new insights into this one; the welcome funds indirectly yielded a double harvest. Toward the end, the dean of the faculty of Arts and Sciences at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, also helped defray some of the costs of this study.

It is perhaps my language teachers who have been most instrumental in making this work possible. Between them, Jonathan Amith (anthropologist), Michel Launey (linguist), and James Lockhart (historian) taught me what I needed to know to embark on a lifelong study of Nahuatl, passing on their penetrating insights into a fascinating language and putting me eternally in their debt. I have gradually realized that I also owe a great deal to the language teachers of my childhood and adolescence, in that they taught me young to open the linguistic channels of my mind. The most important were probably Jonathan Stapleton, who first inspired me to pursue the Romance languages with all my energy, and Dan Davidson and his staff at Bryn Mawr College, who stretched my abilities in new ways in their efforts to impart Russian to me.

I am profoundly grateful to the patient staffs of archives and libraries in three countriesthe Archivo General de Indias (AGI, Spain), the Archivo General de la Nacin (Mexico), the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), Emory Universitys Special Collections, the Huntington Museum and Library, the Library of Congress Manuscripts Division, the New York Public Library Rare Book Room, Princeton University Firestone Library, Yale University Library Manuscripts Division, and, finally, Colgate Universitys Special Collections. At these institutions, staff people who have gone above and beyond include Carl Peterson at Colgate, Barry Landua at the AMNH, and Jess Camargo, Teresa Jimnez, Estrella Sols, and Mara del Espritu Santo Navarro Snchez at the AGI. In 1998, when I first became fascinated by Malintzin, the staffs of the Museo de la Venta and the Hotel Cencali, both in Villahermosa, bore with me while I used them as a home base in my explorations of Tabasco.
