Description
The Florentine Codex General History of the Things of New Spain is a monumental study of native life in Mexico at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Written between 1540 and 1585, it represents one of the most distinguished contributions to anthropology, ethnography, and linguistics. This comprehensive work is divided into twelve books and features over 2,000 illustrations drawn by Nahua artists in the sixteenth century. The Florentine Codex provides a unique insight into the Aztecs' lifeways and traditions, making it an invaluable resource for understanding this period of history. Translated into English for the first time, this edition offers readers a chance to engage with Sahagún's original text, providing a fascinating glimpse into the culture and way of life of Mexico's indigenous people.
