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 in anthropology, ethnography, and linguistics. Translated into English for the first complete time, this immense undertaking provides a rich and intimate yet panoramic view of a doomed people. The codex is divided by subject area into twelve books and includes over 2,000 illustrations drawn by Nahua artists in the sixteenth century. Book Two offers comprehensive accounts of religious ceremonies and days of feasting during the Aztecs' time, including prayers, songs, and temple duties. This detailed work provides valuable insights into the Aztecs' lifeways and traditions, offering a unique window into their culture and way of life.
