The Codex Quetzalecatzin

The Codex Quetzalecatzin, a manuscript dating back to the late 1500s is viewable online for the first time. Created during a period when both Spanish colonizers and indigenous people were using maps to lay claim to their land, it covers an area that includes present-day Mexico City and Puebla.
