A History of Ancient Mexico, Volume 1: 1547-1577 by Bernardino de Sahagun is a comprehensive account of the ancient civilizations that inhabited Mexico before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. The book is based on the author's own experiences living among the indigenous people of Mexico and his extensive research into their culture, history, and beliefs.The first volume covers the period from 1547 to 1577, during which time Sahagun was collecting information from the surviving members of the Aztec civilization. He describes their customs, religion, social structure, and political organization, as well as their achievements in art, architecture, and agriculture.Sahagun's account is richly detailed and provides a unique insight into the world of the ancient Mexicans. He also includes his own commentary on their beliefs and practices, which he compares to those of the European colonizers. The book is an important work of historical scholarship and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Mexico or the ancient civilizations of the Americas.Foreword By Clark Wissler.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
