The Translation of the Florentine Codex
November 9, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Historia general de las cosas de Nueva Espa帽a (General history of the things of New Spain), commonly known as the Florentine Codex is an encyclopedic work about the people and culture of central Mexico compiled by Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahag煤n (1499-1590). This remarkable work of 2,400 pages, 12 books, and more than 2,000 images created by native artists, has been digitized by The Getty Research Institute.
Join us for a conversation with Dr. Le贸n Garc铆a Garagarza, member of the Getty project team, who will talk about the creation of the Digital Florentine Codex (DFC) and about his work in the field of transcriptions and translations of the original Nahuatl and Spanish texts.
