Murúa Manuscript
Artista: No identificado
Siglo XVII · Perú
Colección: Códice Murúa
This page from a manuscript by Fray Martín de Murúa details ritual practices and beliefs of Andean peoples, written in a traditional calligraphy style. The brown ink on yellowish paper suggests an old dating, likely from the 17th century, reflecting the ethnographic and evangelizing interest of the Spanish colonial era in America. The careful writing and incipient drawings convey the importance of recording and preserving cultural knowledge.
