By 1521, They Had Forced The Population To Submit To The Spanish Crown. Around 1541, The Viceroy Of New Spain Commissioned Mexican Indigenous Artists And Spanish Interpreters To Create A Manuscript That Would Explain The New Colony’s History To Spanish King Carlos V. The Codex Mendoza Describes The Founding Of Tenochtitlan And The Extension Of Aztec Territory. Artists Also Listed The Tributes Paid To The Empire By Conquered States And Described The Daily Life Of Aztec Citizens. Carlos V Never Received The Codex Mendoza. Pirates Stole It On The Journey To Spain, And It Was Not Until 1831 That Scholars Rediscovered It. Today, The Codex Mendoza Is Part Of The Bodleian Libraries' Collection In Oxford, England. Mexico’s National Institute Of History And Anthropology Has Collaboratively Digitized The Codex In An Attempt At “Virtual Repatriation” Of This Invaluable Piece Of Mexican History. // Disclaimer: Read The Description And Watch Carefully The Images Provided.
