The Florentine Codex consists of twelve books that describe Aztec life before the Spanish conquest. Created under the supervision of Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagún between approximately 1540 and 1585, these manuscripts were compiled from records of conversations and interviews with indigenous people in Tlatelolco, Texcoco, and Tenochtitlan.
