A Scattering Of Jades is an anthology of Aztec literature, expertly compiled and edited by anthropologist Timothy J. Knab, and deftly translated into English by Nahatl scholar Thelma D. Sullivan. Most of the stories, poems, and prayers are brief yet vividly evocative. The world view of this ancient civilization; the everyday life of its people; and a unique glimpse into Mesoamerican culture make A Scattering Of Jades an unforgettable and highly valued contribution to the growing library of available Aztec Literature and Pre-European Native American Studies collections.
