Summary
| Description |
English: One of the two renditions of the 6th omen described in the Florentine Codex, a 16th-century Mexican manuscript by Spanish friar Bernardino de Sahagún, which warned of the destruction of the Mexica Empire.
According to legend, shortly before the Mexica Empire fell into Spanish control in 1521, eight unusual events occurred during the reign of Moctezuma II that were interpreted as a warning of the destruction of the empire. The 6th event is described in two different ways: the first depiction, which appears in book VIII of the manuscript, describes the presence of the snake-woman deity Cihuacoatl warning with sadness of the imminent destruction, crying out "Oh, my children! I will have to leave you!" The second depiction shown here, described in book XII, describes a weeping woman who wandered during the night crying out "Oh, my children! Where will I get you?"Español: Una de las dos interpretaciones del sexto presagio descrito en el Códice Florentino, un manuscrito mexicano del siglo XVI por el fraile español Bernardino de Sahagún, que advirtió la destrucción del Imperio mexica.
Según la leyenda, poco antes de que el Imperio mexica cayera bajo control español en 1521, ocho eventos inusuales ocurrieron durante el reinado de Moctezuma II que fueron interpretados como advertencias sobre la destrucción del imperio. El sexto evento es descrito de dos formas distintas: la primera representación, que aparece en el libro VIII del manuscrito, describe la presencia de la deidad mujer serpiente Cihuacóatl advirtiendo con tristeza sobre la destrucción inminente, llorando "¡O, hijos míos, guay de mi, que yo os dejo a vosotros!" La segunda representación mostrada aquí, descrita en el libro XII, describe una mujer llorando que salía en las noches llorando "¿O, hijos míos, donde os llevaré?" |
