The so-called Codex is a complex document which offers a variety of information about Mexica culture in Nahuatl, Spanish, and Latin, containing also pictographical images and ornaments. This study offers iconographic interpretations of the Codex’s illustrations and especially focuses on the representations of hands and gestures, preferentially in contexts related to birth, upbringing, and education. A thorough analysis of the diverse text bodies reveals certain patterns of the transculturation process which took place in Spanish-colonised America in the sixteenth century. Furthermore, the interpretation of the material contributes to the ongoing discussion about Sahagún’s role in this process, highlighting that his use of early ethnographic-like methods was motivated by the objective to create a tool which made the conversion of the indigenous population to Catholicism, their submission and exploitation by the Spanish conquerors easier and arguing that his classification as an early ethnographer by some researchers is not correct. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Paedagogica Historica is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
