This is an old revision of the document!
Regrading sources, it looks like this poem is a recreation drawn from the “Florentine Codex” or General History of the Things of New Spain by Fray Bernardino de Sahagún. I've added quick links to some sources here.
Tasks:
- clean up format of page
- regularize bibliography
- decide what to do with extended source/context information.
It appears as though the translator recognized that the Nahua “informants” would not have spoken in prose; and so this is an attempted re-oralization. Unclear if the translator worked from the Spanish text only, though it is probable, given that the bilingual text has not been widely accessible until recently.
