EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Ms Palat. 218-220 Book IX Aztecs consulting and following a map" takes us back in time to the ancient civilization of the Aztecs. From the renowned Florentine Codex, created by Bernardino de Sahagun between 1540 and 1585, this image showcases an intriguing scene. In this artwork, we witness Aztec individuals intently studying a map while engaging in consultation. Their deep focus suggests they are deciphering directions or planning their next move within their town. The attention to detail is remarkable as we can see footprints leading from one house to another on the map, reflecting the importance of navigation and connectivity. This piece offers a glimpse into Mesoamerican pre-Hispanic tradition and highlights the advanced knowledge possessed by native cultures during that era. It serves as a testament to their sophisticated understanding of geography and strategic thinking. Preserved at Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana in Florence, Italy, this section from Sahagun's General History of the Things of New Spain was written by trilingual Nahuatl, Spanish, and Latin Aztec students under his guidance. Its historical significance cannot be overstated as it sheds light on an era long gone but not forgotten. As we admire this artwork captured by an anonymous Spanish artist from the 16th century, let us appreciate its contribution to our understanding of ancient civilizations' intelligence and ingenuity in navigating their world through maps - an enduring symbol that transcends
