Possible Presentation on Codices of Mexico


By Alice_Campos - Posted on 10 October 2014

There was a posting that asked whether there would be interest in hearing a presentation by Dr. John Pohl about the codices. My answer is an emphatic yes! I've always found the codices fascinating and would love to hear an expert explain what they mean. Are there around 50 members in the L.A. area who would be interested, as well? Please speak up, people!

Many years back I was in a bookstore and found a book about an Aztec codex. The first page of the actual codex was dedicated to a Viceroy Hurtado de Mendoza. I was later told by another researcher that the viceroy had a half-sister named Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza, who appears in the genealogy of many people from the Los Altos area. Although I have never been able to substantiate this claim, it left me very intrigued. The researcher who shared that information with me could not remember who had shared that information with him.
