"In the sixteenth century, the Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagun and a team of
indigenous grammarians, scribes, and painters completed decades of work on an extraordinary
encyclopedic project titled 'General History of the Things of New Spain', known as
the 'Florentine Codex' (1575-1577). Now housed in the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana
in Florence and bound in three lavishly illustrated volumes, the codex is a remarkable
product of cultural exchange in the early Americas. In this edited volume, experts
from multiple disciplines analyze the manuscript's bilingual texts and more than 2,000
painted images and offer fascinating, new insights on its twelve books. The contributors
examine the "three texts" of the codex-the original Nahuatl, its translation into
Spanish, and its painted images. Together, these constitute complementary, as well
as conflicting, voices of an extended dialogue that occurred in and around Mexico
City. The volume chapters address a range of subjects, from Nahua sacred beliefs,
moral discourse, and natural history to the Florentine artists' models and the manuscript's
reception in Europe. 'The Florentine Codex' ultimately yields new perspectives on
the Nahua world several decades after the fall of the Aztec empire"--Dust jacket
