Mitla is a travel narrative written by Gustavus Ferdinand Von Tempsky, originally published in 1858. The book details Tempsky's personal adventures and experiences during his journey through Mexico, Guatemala, and Salvador between the years of 1853 and 1855. The narrative is focused on Tempsky's visit to the ancient Zapotec ruins of Mitla, which he describes in great detail. Along with his observations of the ruins, Tempsky also provides a comprehensive account of the local customs, traditions, and way of life of the people he encounters during his travels. The book is not only a travelogue but also a historical document, as it sheds light on the cultural and social conditions of Central America during the mid-19th century. Overall, Mitla is an engaging read that offers a unique perspective on the region and its people.With Observations On The Modes Of Lie In Those Countries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
