The Codex Mendoza is an Aztec codex, or pictorial manuscript, created roughly two decades after the 1521 Spanish conquest of Mexico. It was written in the Nahuatl language using Aztec pictograms. Since the primary audience for codices were Spanish colonial officials, these pictograms were accompanied by Spanish translations and explanatory notes.
