This image displays a handwritten page from Book Twelve of the Florentine Codex, a monumental 16th-century encyclopedic work coordinated by Fray Bernardino de Sahagún. The "Libro duodecimo" is famous for narrating the conquest of Mexico from the indigenous perspective, offering a unique testimony of early colonial history. The page, with its ink calligraphy on paper and details of red rubrics, illustrates the style of New Spain manuscripts, serving as an invaluable primary source.
