Nahuatlato

tranſlated from the Malaye Language, by the King’s Naguatatos, ſo they there call the Interpreters.

In Viceroy Antonio de Mendoza’s 1548 compilation of ordinances, a number deal with the nahuatlatos, prohibiting them from receiving gifts or bribes from Spaniards or Indians, hearing cases in their houses, or acting as procuradores, or soliciters.

It was my hope that the project could be completed with the aid of two of her most esteemed fellow Nahuatlatos and Sahagún scholars, Arthur Anderson and Charles Dibble.

In the year 2000 the celebrated Mexican historian and nahuatlato, Miguel León-Portilla, published his own translation and commentary.
