EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms. Palat. 218-220 Book IX Judgement and Punishment in the Aztec empire" takes us back to the ancient world of the Aztecs, offering a glimpse into their complex legal system. The image is sourced from the Florentine Codex, an invaluable historical document compiled by Bernardino de Sahagun during the 16th century. In this scene, we witness a solemn moment of judgment and punishment within the Aztec empire. A group of judges clad in traditional attire presides over a trial, seated beneath a towering branch symbolizing justice. Hanging ominously nearby are prisoners awaiting their fate, while native onlookers observe with curiosity and trepidation. The photograph transports us to Mesoamerica's pre-Hispanic tradition, shedding light on how law was administered in this fascinating civilization. It serves as a testament to Sahagun's dedication in documenting every aspect of Aztec life through his trilingual work – written by Nahuatl-speaking Aztec students under his guidance. Located at Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana in Florence, Italy, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history and explore different cultures through art. As we contemplate this mesmerizing composition captured by an unknown Spanish artist centuries ago, it reminds us that justice has always been central to human societies across time and continents.
