Description

Explore the history of Inca and early colonial Peru with this two-volume facsimile set from Getty Publications. This collection brings the Historia general del Piru (1616) to life, reproducing one of only three surviving illustrated manuscripts on this era. Written by the Mercedarian friar Martin de Murua, this work provides a rare look into Andean history through beautifully calligraphed text and vibrant imagery. Each volume features high-quality reproductions of the original manuscript. You can view thirty-eight hand-colored images, including detailed portraits of Inca kings and queens, rendered in color. The halftone reproduction of the calligraphy maintains the visual integrity of the original Ms. Ludwig XIII 16. This boxed set is designed for scholars and history enthusiasts alike. It includes a series of essays that examine the physical aspects of the manuscript, such as pigments, scripts, watermarks, and quires. These studies provide context regarding the manuscript's relationship to other Andean historical records, making it a valuable resource for anyone studying the colonial period and Inca culture.
