The Methodological and Factographic Basis of the Research on the Inca State Calendar
摘要
As I mentioned in the Introduction, the objective of this study is to reconstruct the metropolitan (Cuzco) version of the Inca state calendar in its last form, which was in use at the time of the arrival of the Europeans in Tahuantinsuyu between 1527/28-1532, as well as during the subsequent Conquest. My main focus will be on the technical and formal aspect of the functioning of this calendar, among others, to correlate it with the Christian (Julian) calendar.
