History and Mythology of the Aztecs: The Codex Chimalpopoca

History and Mythology of the Aztecs is the first major scholarship on the Codex Chimalpopoca in more than forty years. Bierhorst's is the first edition in English and the first in any language to include the complete text of the Legend of the Suns. The precise, readable, and fully indexed translation will make the codex and indispensable reference for Aztec cultural topics, including land tenure, statecraft, the role of women, the tribute system, warfare, and human sacrifice.
