This image displays an open page from Book Eleven of the Florentine Codex, the monumental ethnographic encyclopedia coordinated by Bernardino de Sahagún in the 16th century. The page features meticulously handwritten text arranged in two columns, with the title "Libro undecimo" in rubric at the top, characteristic of viceregal-era manuscripts. This volume is dedicated to the natural history of Mesoamerica, documenting the region's flora, fauna, and minerals, and is an invaluable source for the study of Nahuatl culture.
