The Codex Chimalpahin, which consists of more than one thousand
pages of Nahuatl and Spanish texts, is a life history of the only
Nahua about whom we have much knowledge. It also affords a
firsthand indigenous perspective on the Nahua past, present, and
future in a changing colonial milieu. Moreover, Chimalpahin's
sources, a rich variety of ancient and contemporary records, give
voice to a culture long thought to be silent and vanquished.Volume
Two of the Codex Chimalpahin represents heretofore-unknown
manuscripts by Chimalpahin. Predominantly annals and dynastic
records, it furnishes detailed histories of the formation and
development of Nahua societies and polities in central Mexico over
an extensive period. Included are the Exercicio quotidiano of
Sahagun, for which Chimalpahin was the copyist, some unsigned
Nahuatl materials, and a letter by Juan de San Antonio of Texcoco
as well as a store of information about Nahua women, religion,
ritual, concepts of conquest, and relations with Europeans.
