Summary[edit]

Description
English: Folio 57r from the Codex Mendoza. A newborn Aztec baby: the earliest ceremonies and life-decisions made for it. (1) At top left, the mother addresses her baby in its cradle. After four days, the midwife takes the baby for ritual bathing and naming (top right). On the right of this scene, three boys call out the name of the infant, and above and below it are symbols of possible future careers for boys and girls. (2) (lower two-thirds of page) The baby in its cradle is again depicted at lower centre. On the left are its father and mother; the two male figures on the right represent its educational options, ‘the head priest’ who would train future priests and priestesses or (lower right) the secular ‘master of youths and boys’. Shelfmark: MS. Arch. Selden. A. 1
