This immense undertaking is the first complete translation into any language of Sahagún’s Nahuatl text, and represents one of the most distinguished contributions in the fields of anthropology, ethnography, and linguistics. Written between 1540 and 1585, the Florentine Codex (so named because the manuscript has been part of the Laurentian Library’s collections since at least 1791) is the most authoritative statement we have of the Aztecs’ lifeways and traditions—a rich and intimate yet panoramic view of a doomed people. The Florentine Codex is divided by subject area into twelve books and includes over 2,000 illustrations drawn by Nahua artists in the sixteenth century. The third book describes in detail the exciting—and sometimes bloody—origin stories of Uitzilopochtli, Titlacauan, and Quetzalcoatl. The appendix discusses other significant religious aspects of the Aztec religion, such as how boys are raised to be high priests and what happens to Aztecs after death.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eTable of Contents:\u003cp\u003eFirst Chapter, in which it is told how the gods had their  beginning\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSecond Chapter, which telleth how they considered one named  Titlacauan or Tezcatlipoca to be a god\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThird Chapter, which telleth the  tale of Quetzalcoatl, who was a great wizard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFourth Chapter, which  telleth how the glory of Quetzalcoatl came to an end and how the sorcerers came  to him\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFifth Chapter, which telleth of another portent which the sorcerer  Titlacauan brought about\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSixth Chapter, which telleth how the Tolteca  were angered because of the marriage of the daughter of Uemac\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeventh  Chapter, where is related yet another portent which the sorcerer brought about,  by which Tolteca died as they performed penances\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEighth Chapter, which  telleth of another portent which that same sorcerer brought about, whereby yet  many more Tolteca died\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNinth Chapter, which telleth of still another  portent which this same sorcerer brought about, by which very many more Tolteca  perished\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTenth Chapter, which telleth of still another portent which this  same sorcerer brought about, by which he portended evil for Tula\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEleventh  Chapter, in which it is told yet another portent which this same sorcerer  brought about, by which he mocked them\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwelfth Chapter, which telleth how  Quetzalcoatl fled, took flight, when he went there to  Tlapallan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThirteenth Chapter, in which are told the marks which  Quetzalcoatl left in place upon the stone with his hands when he rested himself  there\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFourteenth Chapter, which telleth how Quetzalcoatl's vassals froze,  died in the ice, as they passed between Iztac tepetl and  Popocatepetl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAppendix to the Third Book\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"The University of Utah Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52670840799512,"sku":"9781607811596","price":21.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-florentine-codex-book-three-the-origin-of-the-gods-a-general-history-of-the-things-of-new-spain-paperback-softback-9781607811596","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
