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. This comprehensive work provides a rich and intimate view of the Aztecs' lifeways and traditions. The Florentine Codex is divided into twelve books and includes over 2,000 illustrations drawn by Nahua artists in the sixteenth century. Book Nine explores the growth of commerce in Mexico, from trade in feathers to precious stones, animal skins, and other luxury goods. It also examines the preparations made for journeys and the celebrations that took place upon safe return. This English translation is the first complete rendering of Sahagún's Nahuatl text into any language, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and anyone interested in understanding the Aztecs' culture and way of life.
