Description: Materials relating to John Alden Mason's interest in and research on Tohono O'odham language and culture, and particularly of his preparation of "The Language of the Papago of Arizona" (1950), informally referred to as his Papago grammar. Of particular interest will be materials by Juan Dolores, a Tohono O'odham man who both published his own work on Tohono O'odham (then called Papago) language and culture and also worked as a consultant for Mason, Alfred Kroeber, and others. Dolores items in this collection include three notebooks (numbered 10, 11, and 12, each with a table of contents) on Papago [Tohono O'odham] grammar apparently in the hand of Dolores with some additional notes by Mason; a table of contents listing myths and songs in notebook #14, which is missing; 138 pages of Papago [Tohono O'odham] texts with interlinear English and two copies of "The Sacred Case" myth in Northern Tepehuan with English translation. There is also a Papago [Tohono O'odham] text (in ink) without translation, attributed to Miguel Garcia, with corrections by Juan Dolores (in pencil). This collection also contains many of Mason's field notes and writings on Tohono O'odham, including a notebook of field notes on kinship terms, vocabulary, texts, comparisons with Tepecano, etc.; a notebook of songs with English interlinear translations, ethnographic and archaeological notes, Tepecano and Papago [Tohono O'odham] comparisons, etc.; two boxes comprising a linguistics card file of Papago [Tohono O'odham] words with English glosses, along with grammatical or other explanatory notes; miscellaneous notes on kinship terms, paradigms, and various other grammatical matters; a four-page summary of the general characteristics of Tohono O'odham without examples; drafts of an article by Mason giving Dolores' verb conjugations and a letter of George Herzog's comments on same, along with various notes, lists, analyses, etc., on Papago [Tohono O'odham] adjectives, nouns, verbs, pronouns, etc., much of it from Dolores; notes on Papago nominal stems ending in l, li, or ta based on list of stems from Dolores, with cognates from Pima, Northern Tepehuan, and Tepecano; four pages on Papago words with p and t, with English glosses; Tohono O'odham texts with interlinear translations in English and occasionally Spanish; and Mason's comments on William Kurath's "A brief introduction to Papago." Correspondents include George Herzog, who sent several pages of comments on Mason's Papago [Tohono O'odham] grammar; Alfred Kroeber regarding Mason's Papago [Tohono O'odham] grammar; Ruth Underhill regarding their shared interests in Papago [Tohono O'odham] culture and and Joe Grimes, Burton W. Bascom, Jr., George Herzog, Rev. Fr. Regis Rohder, O. F. M., and Dean Saxton regarding Mason's Papago [Tohono O'odham] grammar and the dispute with Morris Swadesh on whether there is one or two stop series in Papago [Tohono O'odham].

Collection:Frank G. Speck Papers (Mss.Ms.Coll.126)
Language:Spanish
Date:1805-1807
Contributor:Dupaix, Guillermo
Subject:Archaeology
Type:Text
Genre:Sketches
Extent:2 volumes
Description: Volume 1-186 leaves of text. Volume 2-179 leaves of sketches and ink washes. One of several copies made of the drawings of Jose Castaneda and the accompanying text of Dupaix, describing archaeological discoveries made upon three expeditions to Palenque, Mitla, etc., during the years 1805-1807. The drawings lack the Egyptian and Hebraic distortions found in the published versions; the text has been collated to follow King (1831), but an older system of numbering and crossed-out portions of text follow Baradere (1834). In the second volume, almost 300 ink wash sketches, pencil rubbings, and watercolors of Dupaix's expedition surveys of Mayan, Zapotec/Mixtec, and Aztec ruins in Palenque, Mitla, and Mexico City. Bas-reliefs of animals, men, geometric designs interspersed with pyramids (teocalli), fortifications, bridges, masks, idols, and diagrams of tombs and buildings. Primarily copies from rough sketches, with some signed by the artist Jose Castenada.
