Norman, OK: University of of Oklahoma Press, 1993. First Edition. Cloth. Very good +. Bernardino De Sahagun. Very good+. Purple cloth boards on front with blue quarter cloth binding and blue cloth on back cover. Two corners bumped (not rubbed). Fading to cover has left a book-size darker rectangle of the purple cloth. Gold title stamping and warrior on cover. Purple end papers. From the private library of Larry Southwick, collector's marginalia pencilled near front hinge. Full color facsimile of Primeros Memoriales (Codice Matritense del Real Palacio). On gloss paper. Interior pages clean and bright, top edge soiled in two small spots. Folio, 11 1/2 x 14 1/2 inches tall. Sahagún is perhaps best known as the compiler of the Historia general de las cosas de la Nueva España (in English): General History of the Things of New Spain (hereinafter referred to as Historia General). The most famous extant manuscript of the Historia General is the Florentine Codex. [wikipedia]. The Codice Matritense del Real Palacio is the oldest codex of the Historia General. "...all of the Florentine Codex's 26 deities have their counterparts in the Primeros Memoriales. The Primeros Memoriales represents an earlier stage in Sahagún's work and is closer to native pictorial traditions in that it maintains the primacy of the visual image over the text. The images were drawn before the text was copied and are more true to the Pre-Colombian canon." --- Emily Floyd, Tulane University
