EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the rich and vibrant world of Aztec cuisine, as depicted in Bernardino de Sahagun's renowned manuscript, Historia General de las Cosas de la Nueva Espana. The image captures the essence of Spain's historical connection with Mesoamerica, particularly through the cultivation and consumption of corn. In this illuminated artwork, we are transported back in time to witness the Aztecs' deep reverence for maize. This sacred crop was not only a staple food but also held immense cultural significance. The intricate details and vivid colors bring to life the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating this medieval illuminated letter. As we delve into this piece of history, it becomes evident that Sahagun's work serves as a valuable resource for understanding Aztec traditions and their profound impact on Mexican cuisine today. Through watercolor on parchment, Sahagun masterfully preserves centuries-old knowledge about cooking techniques, ingredients, and culinary customs. The inclusion of this remarkable artwork within the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana collection further solidifies its importance in preserving our collective heritage. It is a testament to how art can transcend time and space while providing us with invaluable insights into cultures long gone. Let us appreciate this fine example of illuminated artistry as we explore the fascinating intersection between history, science, and gastronomy found within these pages from Historia General de las Cosas de la Nueva Espana by Bernardino de Sahagun.
