Page from an ancient printed volume
Artista: Bernardino de Sahagún
Siglo XVI · México
Colección: Códice Florentino
This image presents a page from a 16th-century printed volume, attributed to Bernardino de Sahagún, notable for its clear typography and double-column layout with marginal notes. The text, likely part of a dictionary or an ethnographic work, explores lexicon in Spanish and possible transliterations from indigenous languages, such as Nahuatl. It is a valuable testament to early printing in the New World and the missionaries' efforts to document pre-Hispanic cultures, reflecting the scholarship of the viceregal era.
