This image displays a page from the Florentine Codex, a monumental 16th-century encyclopedic work. It features a bilingual manuscript text, with the left column in Spanish and the right in Nahuatl, thus facilitating mutual understanding of Nahua culture during the early viceroyalty. The calligraphic style is characteristic of the anonymous tlacuilos who, under the direction of Fray Bernardino de Sahagún, exhaustively documented the life and customs of pre-Hispanic and colonial Mexico.
