SUMMARY:Works-in-Progress Session: In tlateutoqujliztli: Translating “Ido
 latry” in the Appendix of Book 1 of the Florentine Codex

 \n\n\nThe Florentine Codex is best known as a rich sixteenth-century repos
 itory of information – in text and image – of Nahua culture\, society\
 , and religion. However\, one passage in the manuscript\, the appendix to 
 the first book\, “The Gods\,” offers an extended distinct perspective.
  This section attempts to translate the Abrahamic concept of “idolatry
 ”\, as expressed through several chapters from the Book of Wisdom in the
  Christian Old Testament\, into Nahuatl linguistically\, conceptually\, an
 d visually. This paper examines the complexities of this “translation”
  effort by the Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagún and the Nahua tlacu
 iloque (painter-scribes) who were central in the production of the manuscr
 ipt. Drawing inspiration from Kevin Terraciano’s theorization of the “
 three texts” of the Florentine Codex – which foregrounds the interrela
 tionships and discrepancies between the Spanish text\, the Nahuatl text\, 
 and the images – Smith examines how the Latin Vulgate passages were inte
 rpreted and transformed in an effort to define and localize the concept of
  idolatry in this specific cultural context.\n\nChase Caldwell Smith is a 
 PhD candidate in History at UCLA\, where he studies religious conversion a
 nd religious change in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century central Mexico t
 hrough sources including Nahuatl-language doctrinal literature\, inquisito
 rial investigations\, and religious images. In addition to a Summer Mentor
 ship from the UCLA Center for 17th- and 18th-Century Studies\, his researc
 h and training have been supported by institutions including the UCLA Hist
 ory Department\, the UCLA Latin American Institute\, the UCLA CMRS Center 
 for Early Global Studies\, Dumbarton Oaks\, the California Rare Books Scho
 ol\, the Conference on Latin American History\, the Bancroft Library\, and
  Princeton University Library. Beyond his studies\, he serves as an office
 r of the UCLA Medieval &amp\; Early Modern Student Association and has co-
 organized graduate student conferences on materiality\, borders and border
 lands\, and intersectionality in the early global world.\n\n\n\nLoad
