Summary: Review from Latin American Indian Literatures Journal
Comment: "....This edition of Sahagún's first ethnographic study of Mesoamerican culture from the city of Tepepolco (comonly referred to as Primeros Memoriales) has many virtues. Among them are the text's status as a companion volume to an accessible facsimile edition (1993, Volume 200, Part One of the same series). The study reflects a collaboration of noted scholars offering multiple interpretations of a variety of aspects of the document. The information within provides a detailed treatment of non-Mexican residents of the Valley of Mexico....

....In a tribute to Sullivan's efforts, this edition of the Primeros Memoriales has brought together a veritable Dream Team of Nahuatl linguists and translators, art and cultural historians, and bibliographers, resulting in not only a comprehensive and trustworthy study but also a shining example of the need for collaborative efforts in this very interdisciplinary field. For those of us learning Nahuatl but who are not as advanced as we would like to be, the knowledge that Sullivan, Dibble, and Anderson have all participated in the translation allows a more confident approach to the material contained in the Primeros Memoriales. This translation, presented in conjunction with the paleography so that we can see the Nahuatl ourselves, and the facsimile so that we can corroborate our information, also increases the value of this edition. The collaborators and their press should be highly commended for their efforts. Jeanne L. Gillepsie"

Comment: Bernardino de SAHAGUN worked a sixty years to concept and write his "Historia Universal de las cosas de Nueva España", also known as "Codex florentinus". This is his first step. The text is in nahuatl (the second part presents an English translation) with splendid free-hand drawings.
