Friar Bernardino Sahagun was in 1529 one of the first Catholic
missionaries to the Aztecs. During his sojourn in Mexico he came to
speak Nahuatl (the native language) fluently and to understand the
Aztec culture, customs, religion and infrastructure intimately. He
compiled the largest and most richly detailed record of the Aztecs
and their history before the civilisation was wiped out by the
Spanish conquest, and Sahagun is sometimes considered 'the father
of ethnology', as his study was the first to derive from the
subjects' own point of view, through using native informants in his
research. The work, written in 1540, was originally an illustrated
manuscript of twelve books in a combination of Nahuatl and Spanish;
this version, in Spanish only, was first published in 1829. Volume
1 covers the gods, their origins, the calendar of festivals and
sacrificial events, and art and astrology relating to the Aztec
religion.
