A History of the New Philology and the New Philology in History [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Surveys the development of the New Philology as a field of study within the ethnohistory of colonial Mesoamerica. The New Philology focuses on indigenous roles in the colonial years by studying sources written in indigenous languages. In 1976-92, the pioneering work of Frances Berdan, Arthur Anderson, James Lockhart, and Lockhart's students opened this field of study, emphasizing the use of Nahuatl sources. From 1992 to 1998, there was an expansion of study on southern Mesoamerica and the use of Mayan documents. During the early 1990's, the New Philology moved into other disciplines, such as linguistic anthropology and art history. It also considered the relationships between native-language documents and Spanish sources.
