Abstract

Aztec codices were books written by the Nahuatl- speaking people of the Aztec Empire. In most cases, the authors of these books belonged to the Mexica, the Nahuatl-speaking Indigenous people of the Valley of Mexico and the rulers of the Aztec Empire. The Mexica did not have a formal written language, so their codices were written using pictographs painted onto strips of fig bark paper called amate.
