For the most strident revisionist opinion about the quipu, see Laura Laurencich Minelli, Exul immeritus Blas Valera populo suo e historia et rudimenta linguae piruanorum: Indios, gesuiti, e spagnoli in due documenti segreta sul Peru del XVII secolo (Bologna: Casa Editrice Clueb, 2007); for a recent rebuttal of this work, see Kenneth J. Andrien, “The Virtual and the Real: The Case of the Mysterious Documents from Naples,” History Compass 6, no. 5 (2008): 1304–1324.

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.
