Collection Overview

Title:

Náhuatl codices on land distribution: Mexico : ms, [15--]

Abstract:

Náhuatl documents, apparently land titles, written in the Spanish alphabet on maguey fibre. Dated in the 16th century, but apparently all forming part of the so-called "Techialoyan group," and classified as forgeries by Donald Robertson in his book on Mexican manuscript painting. Pictorial peculiarities and similarity of writing in the same group were explained by Federico Gómez de Orozco as the result of the scribes' training in Pedro de Gante's Franciscan school of San José de Belén; the documents were accepted by him and other authorities as genuine.
