This image displays a page from the Florentine Codex, a monumental work coordinated by Bernardino de Sahagún in the 16th century. It features detailed, hand-drawn and colored botanical illustrations depicting various plants, likely from Mesoamerican flora. These images exemplify the profound knowledge of nature documented by Sahagún and his indigenous collaborators, serving as a valuable ethnobotanical and cultural record of New Spain. The style is characteristic of illustrated manuscripts of the era, combining naturalistic observation with the aesthetic of chronicles.
