Description:
|
Incomplete Techialoyan codex of Tepotzotlán, written on amatl (native paper in Nahuatl, in Aztec language, made from the bark of the Mexican fig tree). Written during the Colonial Period and uses unlinked lower-case letters of the European alphabet, although it is in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs. The manuscript is directly linked with Tepotzotlan several times in the text in such a way as to make it clear that it was written in that village (Fols. 1r, 1v, 2v, 5r, 5v,and 6r). The text deals with the boundaries of the pueblo and the delineation of the lands owned by the townspeople of Tepotzotlan. Bookplate of Bibliotheca Lindesiana on the inside upper cover. Label of E. Boban on the inside lower cover.
