This image displays a 16th-century printed page from a work by Bernardino de Sahagún, a key figure in documenting the culture of New Spain. The layout features double-column text with period typography and a marginal red line, revealing an editorial style characteristic of European volumes printed with movable type. This fragment, likely related to rhetoric, is part of his fundamental ethnographic investigations that serve as an invaluable source for the pre-Hispanic and colonial history of Mexico.
