Colección: Códice Magliabecchiano
This Plate 96 from the 16th-century Magliabecchiano Codex displays a page with handwritten Spanish text, detailing an Aztec festivity. The script, characteristic of early New Spain's ethnographic documents, describes the "Ce Xóchitl" (One Rose) festival and its position in the ritual calendar. The work of an anonymous tlacuilo, this fragment highlights the colonial effort to document and understand complex pre-Hispanic traditions.
