2. As a corollary to this dearth of sources, Andean scholars do not have a rich body of mundane administrative documents in native languages akin to that which, in the case of New Spain, spawned the new philology, a school of historians (associated with James Lockhart and his students) who use such documentation as a window into colonial indigenous society. See Matthew Restall, “A History of the New Philology and the New Philology in History,” Latin American Research Review 38, no. 1 (2003): 113–134.
