Ángel María Garibay K.

Mexican philologist, historian and scholar (1892–1967)

Fray Ángel María Garibay Kintana (18 June 1892 – 19 October 1967) was a Mexican 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.

Garibay and León-Portilla published texts and scholarly analysis for the study of classical Nahuatl literature, founded the journal {{ill|Estudios de Cultura Náhuatl|es|Estudios de cultura náhuatl}}, and created the Seminario de Cultura Náhuatl. In the seminar, they taught fundamentals of literature and linguistics to Nahuas, who went on to create a modern Nahuatl literature. In recent years, the relationship between the development of Nahuatl literature as a field and the ideologies of indigenismo and mestizaje has been critically examined.
