Why Ancient Inquiry uses this citation here

Getty Research Institute digital edition giving page-level access to Nahuatl and Spanish text and images; a primary colonial compilation produced by Sahagún and Indigenous collaborators, not a neutral eyewitness transcript.

What this usage does not establish

Bibliographic verification does not by itself establish that the full text was read.
Open topic

Topics citing it and claims using it

Supporting citation for public claim

The catalog supports context-specific and convergent evidence for Mexica sacrifice, not colonial event totals or a sacrifice-only account of Mexica society.

The dossier treats this as an open source and evidence question.
Open claim topic
Limiting / critical citation for public claim

The claim that Mexica human sacrifice was entirely Spanish propaganda is unsupported; colonial texts require criticism, but archaeological sacrificial contexts are independent evidence.

The evidence does not automatically support broader causal, technological, transmission, or literalizing claims beyond the cited record.
