Ángel María Garibay a communicator of traditions

Abstract

This article aims to show how and in what way poetry and communication converge in ancient Mexican writings through the pen of the humanist Ángel María Garibay. Father Garibay was more than a paleographer and translator of the ancient songs of Mexico, he also revitalized Nahuatl poetics by making his deepest spiritual sense available to communication. In this work, we offer a biographical preamble of Dr. Garibay and, next, we will expose in part (A), some reasons that make us propose and understand hermeneutics as communication in the poetic work of Father Garibay, for this, in one part (B), to set a minimum of criteria to understand the natural disposition of the Nahuatl language towards the poetic phenomenon and, at the end, in one part (C) to expose and comment on the aesthetic typography that Garibay himself created, after studying , systematize and communicate their findings on the matter.
