Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Karl Anton Nowotny was an Austrian ethnographer, art historian and academic, specialising in the study of Mesoamerican cultures. He is most renowned for his analyses and reproductions of Mesoamerican codices, and his commentaries on their iconography and symbolisms. Nowotny was a pioneer and leading exponent of applying comparative ethnography to the study of pre-Columbian and conques-era texts and codices. In this technique, the meaning and symbolism of the texts are analysed and compared with the cultural practices and beliefs of modern indigenous Mesoamerican peoples whose traditions have been maintained. Nowotny used comprehensive ethnographic studies such as those conducted by Leonhard Schultze in the 1930s among the Nahuas of the central Mexican altiplano as a means of garnering further insight into the ancestral practices and beliefs underpinning the codices and related iconographies.
