| Summary: | "The treatise carefully documents not only the religion of the Aztecs, but also the rites for such everyday activities as woodcutting, curing, & lovemaking. The translators of this work have supplied a historical introduction to put the treatise in context; notes to clarify obscure points in the text; lists of gods, curers, medicines, & place names; & corrections of the author's sometimes flawed Nahuatl."-Masterkey |
