Códice Magliabecchiano, lámina 128
Artista: Anónimo tlacuilo (Códice Magliabecchiano)
Siglo XVI · México
Colección: Códice Magliabecchiano
This leaf 128 from the Códice Magliabecchiano displays a handwritten page with Spanish text describing a pre-Hispanic supernatural entity, referring to it as one of "four hundred demons." The inscriptions mention names such as "Van diesos" and "bozca," preparing the space for an illustration of a demon that, though absent in this view, is anticipated by a symbol and the phrase "el demonio y el siguiente." This valuable anonymous Novohispanic document reflects the interpretation and recording of indigenous beliefs within the colonial context.
