. "Aztec codices (Nahuatl: M\u0113xihcatl \u0101moxtli Nahuatl pronunciation: [me\u02D0\u02C8\u0283i\u0294kat\u026C a\u02D0\u02C8mo\u0283t\u026Ci]) are books written by pre-Columbian and colonial-era Aztecs. These codices provide some of the best primary sources for Aztec culture. The pre-Columbian codices differ from European codices in that they are largely pictorial; they were not meant to symbolize spoken or written narratives."@en . . . .
