Page from an ancient manuscript
Artista: Bernardino de Sahagún
Siglo XVI · México
Colección: Códice Florentino
This 16th-century page, attributed to Bernardino de Sahagún, comes from a foundational manuscript for the history of the New World. It features two columns of handwritten text, with a clear rubric 'Libro dodecimo' at the top and a notable red band in the left margin, possibly for annotations or decoration. It reflects the meticulous effort of the Franciscan friar to document the culture, history, and customs of the indigenous peoples of New Spain, serving as an invaluable ethnographic source.
