Talk:Codex Mendoza

message: How about moving the list to a general article Aztec codices? Anyone opposed?--Rockero 08:34, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No opposition here.  I think it's a great idea.  I've been linking the various codices I've run across in the articles in preparation for a write-up.  Madman 12:45, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

text: I went ahead and created the Aztec codices article.  So far, it contains descriptions for 2 codices, the links from this article, and a few other links I discovered.  Madman 14:54, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: List

message: The main image shown in the article is labeled as the first page of the Codex Mendoza, but isn't it actually a cropped version of folio 2 recto? I haven't personally seen the Codex or a facsimile--perhaps this is the first printed page? Folio 2 recto appears in the image gallery and is labeled as such. The main image has cut off the bottom portion of 2 recto (which is fine by me, as long as its label implies this) and is, of course, actually the third page in conventional page counts. I suggest correcting this label to something along the lines of "City" or "Altepetl of Tenochtitlan as depicted in the Codex Mendoza, f.2r" or "...as depicted on page 3 (f.2r) of the Codex Mendoza".

thread_title: Image (Incorrectly?) Labeled as "First Page"

message: Would anyone be opposed to either a. expanding the labels in the gallery or b. creating sub-sections for particularly enlightening pages of the Codex with more in-depth analysis? 
Examples of Possible Clarifications to Include:
:*Explicitly stating that the eagle in the center of folio 2 recto is a reference to the origin story of Tenochtitlan
:*Noting the dating(?)which appears in the border around folio 2 recto (I think that's what those pictograms are, but I'm not very well-versed in Aztec/Nahuatl glyphs, so I am by no means certain about this--Anyone an expert in this area?)
:*Briefly explaining the Aztec convention of depicting conquests in pictograms (fallen temple with place name)
:*Explaining the Aztec numbering system on the tribute lists (or at least link to an article that does), and maybe using one SUCH page as a detailed example outlining the amounts of each item shown, i.e. X number feathers above the pictogram for honey indicates X number jars of honey total?
I think such explanations would greatly improve this article. What do others think? KAPet (talk) 16:41, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
