| Zusammenfassung: | The systematic destruction of indigenous manuscripts during the Spanish conquest (1519–1521) and the subsequent evangelization of Mexico leaves us without any surviving pre-conquest manuscript or map from the Nahua speaking region of the Central Mexican Valley of Mexico. Accordingly limited and dependent on colonial sources is our knowledge about local pre-conquest cartographic and iconographic traditions. Starting from the Nuremberg woodcut of 1524, discussed as being based on indigenous models and showing the earliest extant cartographic image of Lake Texcoco and the Gulf of Mexico, this paper takes a closer look at the representation of water on early colonial Mexican maps and examines how pictorial forms and colours were used to describe and characterize water – and how this rendering of water changed under colonial influence. With a focus on sixteenth-century maps of the Valley of Mexico, this paper explores the iconography, colouring and semantization of water as a transcultural field of negotiation, used by local indigenous communities and Christian missionaries to interlock heterogeneous worldviews and religious concepts; pointing out a new creativity in the colour coding of water that emerged during this colonial process. At the same time, it highlights the continuing significance of indigenous pictography, which was able to substitute colours via pictorial signs, and points to traces of this pictographic tradition still visible in the Nuremberg map. |
