Libana: Mesoamerican Ceremonial Discourse and the Christian Sermon. Known in Zapotec as libana, the language of Mesoamerican ritual had the power to transcend the everyday and situate itself in the realm of the sacred —worshipful words uttered to appeal to the gods. The encounter between this ceremonial style and the sermons of Christian priests who arrived after the Spanish conquest is the crux of Nancy Farriss’s exhaustive study.
