EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the "Codex of the conquest of Mexico: calendar in the shape of a wheel". Created in the 16th century by Spanish School artists, this miniature codex is housed in the prestigious Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana in Florence, Italy. The Codex itself is an integral part of the Florentine manuscript 'Storia degli Aztechi' (History of the Aztecs), meticulously crafted by franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagun between 1569 and 1575. The intricate details and vibrant colors displayed on this wheel-shaped calendar offer us a glimpse into Mesoamerican civilization during that time. As we delve into its contents, we are transported to ancient Mexico, where indigenous cultures thrived before European colonization. This artifact serves as a testament to their rich cultural heritage and advanced understanding of timekeeping. The collaboration between Spain and Europe with Mesoamerica is evident through this manuscript's creation. It symbolizes both cultural exchange and conquest, shedding light on how civilizations intertwined during this transformative period. Through Raffaello Bencini's expertly captured photograph, we can appreciate every stroke and hue that brings this historical masterpiece to life. Its presence reminds us not only of our shared human history but also encourages us to explore further into our collective pasts for greater understanding and appreciation.
