The Digital Florentine Codex’s three languages and thousands of hand-painted illustrations provide a window into culture, war, and daily life.
The Florentine Codex includes 12 books covering a wide variety of topics, from daily life to ceremonies, and from war to plants and animals. Book 9 describes the merchants and artisans of the time, such as these disguised Mexica merchants in Tzinacantlan, acquiring quetzal feathers.
