Quetzalcoatl — Source identity

Direct answer

Quetzalcoatl — Source identity is implemented as a source-bounded source identity guide.

Answer contract

Answer only the source identity question inside the adjudicated boundary and inspected source scopes; label source, translation, period, rights, and uncertainty explicitly.

Evidence and exact locators

getty-florentine-project-and-terms — Project history and edition description; Getty Terms of Use; Codex book index and parallel text/translation labels. Supports: Establishes the manuscript’s collaborative sixteenth-century production and the digital edition’s separate Nahuatl, Spanish, and translation layers.

florentine-quetzalcoatl-2v — Book 1, folio 2v; Quetzalcoatl chapter, attire, priestly statement, parallel columns, and Christian comparison in the Spanish frame. Supports: Provides a named folio witness for Quetzalcoatl and a visible example of colonial-Christian interpretive framing.

What the evidence does not establish

The project description’s reliability claim does not remove colonial mediation or make translations and images freely reusable.

This is a sixteenth-century collaborative and colonial witness. Nahuatl, Spanish, later English translations, footnotes, and Christian polemic cannot be collapsed into one unmediated precolonial voice.
