Aztec Thought and Culture: A Study of the Ancient Nahuatl Mind. Leòn-

Portilla, Miguel. Translated by Jack Emory Davis. Norman: University of

Oklahoma Press, 1963.

The author's writing is eloquent yet understandable. He uses

translations of the original texts liberally to illustrate his contentions, thereby
providing a balanced, well-documented work whose thesis could be arrived at

by others through the use of the texts supplied.

Organization is the one problem with the work. However, this weakness

is outweighed by the work's strengths. Although Leòn-Portilla does divide the

work into chapters based, for the most part, on the theoretical constructions
of the tlamatinime, he could have done a better job of it.
