Summary

Description
English: Detail from folio 41 verso of the Codex Telleriano-Remensis, a 16th-century Mexican manuscript, showing a human sacrifice performed in the year 1 rabbit (1506). The Spanish text (not seen in this detail) which follows the Nahuatl glyphs translates into English as: "Year of one rabbit and of 1506. There were so many mice in the province of Mexico that they ate all the crops, and thus people came out at night with torches to protect the crops. In this year Monteçuma shot a man in this manner. The old men say this was to please the gods, since throughout the last two hundred years they were hungry in the year one rabbit."
Español: Detalle del folio 41 verso del Códice Telleriano-Remensis, un manuscrito mexicano del siglo XVI, mostrando un sacrificio humano hecho en el año 1 conejo (1506). El texto en español (no visto en este detalle) que acompaña a los glifos nahuas dice: "Año d. un conejo y d. 1506. Uvo tanto ratón en la provincia d. México, que se comían todas las senbradas, y ansí salían de noche con lumbres a hardarlos senbrados. Este año asaeteó Monteçuma un onbre desta manera, dizen los viejos que fue por aplacar a los dioses porque avía dozientos años que sienpre tenían hanbre el año d. un conejo".
