Among the native-language documents written by the Nahuas of
central Mexico after Spanish contact, the annals genre gave them
the freest rein in expressing themselves. The premier practitioner
of the Nahuatl annals form was a writer of the early seventeenth
century now known as Chimalpahin. Until recently, attention went
primarily to his writings about precontact events.
Now Chimalpahin's equally important writings about his own time
have begun to come to the fore; the present volume is the first
English edition of Chimalpahin's largest work, written during the
first two decades of the seventeenth century. The great immediate
value of the material is that it shows the Mexico City of the
author's time, both Spanish and indigenous, as a cultured Nahua
viewed it, and reveals the Nahuatl social and cultural vocabulary
of that era. Among entries reporting run-of-the-mill events, the
annals contain much color and humanity.
The edition features a faithful transcription and a very readable
translation. The apparatus includes telling new analysis of both
language and content.
