Open page of an ancient manuscript
Artista: Bernardino de Sahagún
Siglo XVI · México
Colección: Códice Florentino
The image presents an open page from a 16th-century manuscript, a work by the Franciscan Bernardino de Sahagún, a key figure in the documentation of New Spain. It displays calligraphic text in old Castilian, with the indication 'Libro 6' at the top, and a distinctive vertical red band in the left margin. This rubrication technique is typical of manuscripts from that era, reflecting the author's work of cultural compilation and preservation.
