Pre-Columbian Terms: Pronunciation Guide
In conjunction with Grove's update to Latin American art and architecture, the editors have assembled this pronunciation guide for Pre-Columbian terms. Led by Professor Thomas Cummins of Harvard University, our multi-year commissioning effort added hundreds of new texts to Grove Art and included revisions to every existing Grove article related to this field. All of this material will publish online.
Click on each term below to reach the Grove Art article on the given site, culture, or topic. More pronunciations will be added to this guide as new accompanying articles publish in the year ahead. Please write to the editors (oxfordarteditor@oup.com) with any questions or to suggest additional terms for the pronunciation list.
We offer profuse thanks to the scholars who created these recordings with us: Claudia Brittenham (University of Chicago), James A. Doyle (Metropolitan Museum of Art), Rex Koontz (University of Houston), Mary Miller (Yale University), and Joanne Pillsbury (Metropolitan Museum of Art). We are grateful for your time, expertise, and patience with our provisional recording methods.
