This image presents a page from the Eleventh Book of the Florentine Codex, a 16th-century encyclopedia coordinated by Bernardino de Sahagún. It features a detailed pen-and-ink illustration with various botanical species, predominantly cacti and other native plants, arranged in panels that evoke stylized landscapes. These representations, made by indigenous artists, are crucial for documenting pre-Hispanic knowledge about Mesoamerican flora and its cultural application.
