Fray 'Ángel María Garibay Kintana' (
June 18,
1892–
October 19,
1967) was a
Mexican Roman Catholic priest,
philologist,
linguist, historian, and scholar of
pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures, specifically of the
Nahua peoples of the central Mexican highlands. He is particularly noted for his studies and translations of
conquest-era primary source documents written in
Classical Nahuatl, the ''
lingua franca'' of
Postclassic central Mexico and the then-dominant
Aztec empire. Alongside his former student
Miguel León-Portilla Garibay ranks as one of the pre-eminent Mexican authorities on the
Nahuatl language and its
literary heritage, and as one who has made a significant contribution towards the promotion and preservation of the
indigenous cultures and
languages of
Mexico.
