Abstract
El llamado Códice Tudela o Códice del Museo de América de Madrid es un documento colonial cuyos textos y pinturas fueron compendiados entre los años 30 y 50 del siglo XVI. Se trata de un manuscrito en el que encontramos un conjunto de imágenes, que denominaremos Libro Indígena, textos alfabéticos, a los que nos referiremos como Libro Escrito Europeo y unas páginas añadidas a posteriori con pinturas de un claro estilo colonial que han venido llamándose Libro Pintado Europeo.Esta obra nos presenta de forma conjunta distintos aspectos de la religión que profesaban los mexicanos del Centro de México antes de la llegada de los españoles y la religión católica. El grueso de las imágenes y los textos se centran en una ilustración de los diversos periodos en los que los aztecas aunaban el tiempo. En este sentido, se trata de una obra fundamental para intentar dar luz a las sombras que aún, quinientos años después, tenemos en dichos sistemas.Por la enorme cantidad de datos que aporta el análisis de este códice, hemos delimitado nuestro ámbito de actuación a la última sección del documento, la que se ocupa del periodo de 260 días o Tonalpohualli. A través de estas páginas, hemos podido observar los diversos niveles de actuación que se nos plantean en un marco general y de modo más específico en el conjunto de la primera trecena.La elección de esta parte del documento en cuestión no ha sido accidental. El hecho de que el Códice Tudela fuera manipulado con posterioridad a su confección inicial, nos hace percatarnos de la importancia que le dio el autor de su Libro Escrito Europeo, responsable de la ampliación de esta sección del documento con la inclusión de un cuadernillo en el que encontraremos exclusivamente textos redactados en alfabeto latino en lengua castellana...
Codex Tudela or Códice del Museo de América de Madrid is a colonial document whose texts and pictures were summarised between 30’s and 50’s of XVIth century. On this manuscript we can find a group of pictures, named Native Book, texts,referred like European Written Book and a set of post-added pages that were painted with a colonial style clearly which have been known as European Painted Book.This work presents as a unique element, different aspects related to the ancient Central Mexican religion, practiced before the arriving of Spanish conquers and Catholic religion. The majority of images and texts try to illustrate the different periods in which the ancient Aztecs organized their time. On this way, it’s a fundamental work to try to put lights on the shadows that, still five hundred years ago, we can find about their calendars. Because of the huge quantity of data that can be obtained through the Codex analysis, we have delimited our study to the last section of the document, the Tonalpohualli. Across its pages, we could observed the different levels of action on a general way and more specifically, in the first group of thirteen days.The election of this part of the document has not been accidental. The fact that Codex Tudela was manipulated after its first composition, makes us to understand about the significance done to this section by the European Written Book writer’s, responsible for its extension, including a new booklet where we will find, exclusively, edited texts in Spanish...
