About this book

Español

De lo que contaron al fraile

Este texto se basa en el libro Historia general de las cosas de la Nueva España de Fray Bernardino de Sahagún. Adaptado para niños, habla sobre las creencias y costumbres de los antiguos mexicanos: dioses, fiestas, cantos y bailes, arte adivinatorio, forma de gobierno, sistema judicial y el oficio de la guerra. Habla también de las múltiples actividades que se realizaban: astronomía, medicina herbolaria, pesca. Describe plantas y animales de la época, cuando todavía no llegaban las especies del viejo mundo. Los autores aprovecharon el hecho de que las imágenes del Códice Florentino siguen muy de cerca al texto, para crear un tipo de cómic histórico. En el momento de escribirse el Códice, la realidad allí presentada había dejado de existir. Si pudo recuperarse, fue a través de lo que contaron al fraile los informantes indígenas.

English

From What They Told the Friar

This text is based on the book Historia eneral de las cosas de la Nueva España by Fray Bernardino de Sahagún. Adapted for children, it talks about the beliefs and customs of the ancient Mexicans: gods, festivals, songs and dances, divinatory art, form of government, judicial system and the office of war. It also talks about the multiple activities that were carried out: astronomy, herbal medicine, fishing. It describes plants and animals of the time, when the species of the old world had not yet arrived. The authors took advantage of the fact that the images of the Florentine Codex closely follow the text to create a kind of historical comic. At the time the Codex was written, the reality presented there had ceased to exist. If it could be recovered, it was through what the indigenous informants told the friar.
