EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning detail from folio 17r of the Codex Borbonicus provides a glimpse into the rich and complex world of the Aztec civilization, as documented by an Aztec priest shortly before or after the Spanish conquest of Mexico in the late 16th century. The Codex Borbonicus is one of only four surviving pre-Hispanic Aztec codices, and is named for the Spanish nobleman, Marquis de Borbón, who acquired it in the 16th century. The image depicts the Triple Alliance, a political and military confederation that ruled over the Aztec Empire from Tenochtitlan, the capital city. The three ruling cities of the alliance - Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan - are represented by the eagles and jaguars perched atop the central pyramid. The image also includes representations of the rain deity Tlaloc and the sun god Huitzilopochtli, both of whom were revered by the Aztecs and played important roles in their religious and political life. The Codex Borbonicus is a valuable historical resource, providing insights into Aztec religion, calendrics, and history. The intricate illustrations and glyphs were meticulously hand-painted on European-style paper, reflecting the syncretic nature of Aztec culture in the wake of Spanish contact. This detail is a testament to the artistic and intellectual achievements of the Aztecs, and serves as a reminder of the rich and complex history of the Americas before European colonization.
