BEAD-PRAYERS AND THE SPIRITUAL CONQUEST OF NAHUA MEXICO: GANTE’S “CORONAS” OF 1553 EILEEN M. MULHARE AND B ARRY D. SELL American Anthropological Association Universidad de Los Ángeles, California A. THE A UTHOR AND HIS BOOK F ray P edro de Gante is well known to readers of Estudios de Cultura Náhuatl. He is not only rightly regarded as a founding member of the Mexican church, indefatigable in his ministry to Nahuas, but he also has the dis- tinction (at least anecdotally) of twice r efusing the ar chbishopric of Mexico. Among his numerous other achievements are several Nahuatl publi- cations. The most important is his Doctrina cristiana en lengua Mexicana. There are at least five extant published copies of this work. The oldest is held by the Huntington Library in San Marino, California, USA . It can be dated circa 1547 and at least some of its opening and closing leaves are missing. It lacks much of the material found at the end of its four later counterparts. It is impossible to say at present whether or not it the later editions were expanded or this earlier one is simply missing many pages. The content is seemingly identical in all other respects except for a truncated admonitory dialogue in Nahuatl between a father and son. The four subsequent copies are all securely dated to 1553. Ernesto de la T or re Villar in the introductory essay to his 1981 photor eproduction of Gante’s book places them as follows: in the USA at the Latin Ameri- can Collection of the Nettie Lee Benson Library of the University of Texas at Austin (UT A ) and at the Ayer Collection in the Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois; and in Mexico with don Salomón Hale and at the Archivo General de la Nación (1981: 73-74). The last institution provided the copy that appears in Gante 1981 because “está completo” (1981: 74). How- ever in at least one instance this “completeness” may only be due to some leaves in Latin that appear at the beginning of the AGN copy. The foliation of the 1553 copies held by the AGN and the UTA is identical, folio for folio. Also 20 randomly-selected pages of the two imprints
