More about the book
In 1929, a history professor uncovered the Codex Cruz-Badianus, a 1552 manuscript detailing the medicinal uses of 185 plants, illustrated with phytomorphs. This significant find in the Vatican Library sheds light on the botanical and medicinal practices of the Nahuas, or Aztecs, enhancing our understanding of their culture and the history of New Spain during the 16th century. The manuscript is a crucial resource for studying indigenous knowledge and its impact on the broader narrative of early American history.
