A monumental achievement of scholarship, this volume on the Nahua
Indians of Central Mexico (often called Aztecs) constitutes our
best understanding of any New World indigenous society in the
period following European contact.
Simply put, the purpose of this book is to throw light on the
history of Nahua society and culture through the use of records in
Nahuatl, concentrating on the time when the bulk of the extant
documents were written, between about 1540-50 and the late
eighteenth century. At the same time, the earliest records are full
of implications for the very first years after contact, and
ultimately for the preconquest epoch as well, both of which are
touched on here in ways that are more than introductory or
ancillary.
