AUGUST 2008
This book deals with the origins of the present-day
National Museum of Ethnology in Leiden, and covers
the period from 1816 to 1883.
With
the foundation of the Royal Cabinet of Rarities in
The Hague in 1816, a transformation took place from
mainly private collections to national state-owned
collections. The founding of the Royal Cabinet was
one of the first attempts to create something like
a National Museum. This book traces the purposes and
motives of private collecting and the emergence of
cabinets of curiosities, the composition of the collections,
and the move towards a National Museum.
This
book is based on extensive research in the archives
of the Royal Cabinet of Rarities. More

Indigenous Languages of Latin America (ILLA) Vol. 7,
Uchumataqu: The lost language of the Urus of Bolivia.
A grammatical description of the language as documented
between 1894 and 1952. ISBN 978-90-5789-158-8.
330 pp., incl. index. € 47,50
(CNWS publications Vol. 158)
JUNE 2008
This
book is the first comprehensive grammatical description
of Uchumataqu, the language of the Uru of Lake Titicaca
in north-western Bolivia. Uchumataqu forms part of the
isolated language family Uru-Chipaya but has been influenced
to differing degrees by Aymara, Quechua, and Spanish.
The Uchumataqu language became extinct around 1950.
Although several researchers had documented the language
during the first half of the 20th century, much of the
material remained unstudied. This book is the first
to take into consideration every previous study of the
Uchumataqu language.
This
book is aimed at linguists from all disciplines but
is of equal interest to anthropologists, Americanists,
historical linguists, typologists, and linguists with
a special interest in Andean studies. More

Brazilië (1637–1644) werd aangesteld. Onder
