Foreword

Since its moment of origin, Codex Mendoza has been a document of the utmost international significance, as reflected by its early travels. Its European paper must have crossed the Atlantic twice, there and back in quick succession by the early 1540s. On the manuscript’s last folio, its Spanish commentator states that the manuscript remained in Mexico less than ten days after completion, before the fleet was due to sail. After a period in Renaissance France, it came to rest in Oxford and has been kept safe here at the Bodleian Library for over 350 years.
