About This Item
minor shelf rubbing on book and jacket. Pages inside appears clean and clear throughout. 'The Aztec painted manuscripts known as 'the Codex Mendoza' was prepared on the authority of Don Antonio de Mendoza, first Viceroy of New Spain, shortly after the Spanish conquest, for dispatch to the emperor, Charles V. The Codex was specially written by an Aztec painted book artist using the native pictographic system of writing. So that the Spanish monarch should be able to read it and form an idea of his strange dominions in the New World, a Spanish priest familiar with the language of the Aztecs, 'Nauatil', was asked to write a detailed explanation of the contents.
