Description

The Florentine Codex stands as one of the most significant historical documents of the sixteenth century, created through a remarkable collaboration between Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagun and indigenous grammarians, scribes, and painters over several decades. This encyclopedic masterpiece, formally titled General History of the Things of New Spain and completed between 1575-1577, captures the richness of Nahua culture and knowledge during a pivotal moment of cultural exchange in the early Americas. The three lavishly illustrated volumes, now preserved in the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana in Florence, represent an extraordinary fusion of European scholarly methodology and indigenous Mexican artistic traditions. This University of Texas Press edition honours this UNESCO-recognised work as an essential resource for understanding pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, colonial Mexico, and the complex dynamics of knowledge transmission between cultures. An Honorable Mention recipient for the 2021 LASA Mexico Humanities Book Prize, this comprehensive study illuminates how indigenous perspectives were documented and preserved during the Spanish conquest period.

Key Features

The Florentine Codex documents sixteenth-century Nahua knowledge through three volumes of extensively illustrated encyclopaedic content created by indigenous scribes and painters.

University of Texas Press edition presents the General History of the Things of New Spain (1575-1577) with scholarly analysis of its cultural and historical significance.

This landmark work earned an Honorable Mention for the 2021 LASA Mexico Humanities Book Prize from the Latin American Studies Association, Mexico Section.

The Codex represents a unique product of early colonial cultural exchange, combining Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagun's documentation with indigenous artistic and linguistic contributions.

Originally housed in the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana in Florence, this publication makes the three-volume Codex accessible to scholars and students of Mesoamerican history and culture.
