Bernardino de Sahagún, Aztec astronomy from the Florentine Codex of Sahagún Left column: Tianquiztli, or market place (the Pleiades), Citlaltlachtli, or ballcourt (Gemini?), Citalpol (Venus), Citlalpopoca, or smoking star (comet), Citlaltlamina (shooting star), Meztli (moon), solar eclipse, lunar eclipse, Mamalhuaztli (Orion's Belt) The Florentine Codex is a 16th-century ethnographic research study in Mesoamerica by the Spanish Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagún. Sahagún originally titled it La Historia General de las Cosas de Nueva España (in English: The General History of the Things of New Spain).
After a translation mistake, it was given the name Historia general de las Cosas de Nueva España. The best-preserved manuscript is commonly referred to as the Florentine Codex, as the codex is held in the Laurentian Library of Florence, Italy.
