EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms Palat. 218-220 Book IX Aztec prisoners, from the Florentine Codex" takes us on a journey back in time to the 16th century. Created by Bernardino de Sahagun, a Spanish scholar and priest, this artwork is part of the renowned Florentine Codex collection housed at Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana in Florence, Italy. The image showcases a scene from Sahagun's monumental work "Historia General de las Cosas de Nueva Espana" which provides invaluable insights into Aztec civilization. Here, we witness the aftermath of an Aztec battle as prisoners are held captive within a native punishment prison. The composition exudes both intrigue and melancholy as we observe these individuals who have fallen victim to their circumstances. What makes this piece even more remarkable is that it was created by trilingual Nahuatl, Spanish, and Latin Aztec students under Sahagun's guidance. Their collaboration resulted in an extraordinary blend of artistic expression and historical documentation. As we delve into this photograph print, let us appreciate its significance beyond commercial use. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Aztecs while shedding light on their complex societal structures and practices. Through art like this, history comes alive before our eyes - reminding us of our shared human experiences across time and space.
