[Translation of the Nahuatl into Spanish by Fr. Bernardino de Sahagún; transcription of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:] [f. 38v., dos dibujos; sin texto en español]

English Translation

[Translation of the Nahuatl (right-hand column) by James Lockhart:] was hit: the forehead, the nape of the neck, the heart, the chest, the stomach, or the whole abdomen. But if only their thighs or shoulders were hit, then they did not of it, nor were their lives put in danger, but they healed. And when the Mexica saw how the guns and iron bolts were shot, they just went back and forth, as though crossing this way and that; everyone went from side to side, being very alert and careful. When the fighting had gone on for four days, the warriors, those who had been chosen and picked out as best, those who possessed devices, whose countenances showed the spirit of war, all those climbed up on top of the temple. They took up two large beams and many round oak logs called “god wood” which they were going to hurl down on [the Spaniards]. Thereupon the Spaniards climbed up on the temple. They went in separate units, in rows. [Translation of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:] (intentionally blank)
