This plate 280 from the Primeros Memoriales displays a double-page spread of a 16th-century manuscript, characterized by its meticulous documentation of Nahuatl culture and language. The left page presents thematic entries, some highlighted in red ink, followed by detailed descriptions, while the right page continues the text more fluidly. This compilation style reflects the technique of the earliest ethnographic and linguistic studies carried out in New Spain, serving as an invaluable source for understanding the pre-Columbian and early colonial world.
