Description

North America, United States, California, ca. 1992 CE. Written by Frances F. Berdan and Patricia Rieff Anawalt. Published by the University of California Press. A remarkable 4-volume, hardcover facsimile edition of the "Codex Mendoza," originally compiled in Mexico City in 1541 under the supervision of Spanish clerics to inform the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, King Charles V, about his newly conquered subjects. The Codex contains an extensively illustrated documentation of Aztec civilization, including a comprehensive record of Aztec daily life, as well as pictorial accounts of Aztec emperors' conquests and tribute paid by the conquered. Volume 1 features a collection of academic papers by the authors and other leading specialists regarding different aspects of the "Codex Mendoza." Next, Volume 2 is comprised of descriptions and discussions of each pictorial page. Size (of slipcase): 5.6" L x 11.6" W x 15" H (14.2 cm x 29.5 cm x 38.1 cm)

Volume 3 contains a complete color facsimile of the "Codex Mendoza," and, most impressively, Volume 4 offers a black and white facsimile of the manuscript with the 16th-century Spanish text transcribed and translated into English. All books are covered in leather and fabric and stored together in a hardcover slipcase enveloped in fabric.
