Codex Magliabechiano
The Codex Magliabechiano is a 16th-century manuscript from Mexico, important for understanding pre-Columbian Aztec culture. Created around 1550, it combines history, mythology, and astronomy, using pictures and symbols. The codex serves as a visual record of Aztec life, hailing from the post-conquest period when indigenous knowledge was at risk of being lost. It reflects the blend of pre-Hispanic and colonial influences, preserving information about rituals, gods, and calendars. Today, it is a vital resource for historians and researchers studying the Aztec civilization and its legacy.
