The Florentine Codex Project is a collaboration between researchers from Bucknell University and the Poetic Media Lab at Stanford University to produce a digital edition of Historia general de las cosas de Nueva España (General History of the Things of New Spain), also known as the Florentine Codex, a monumental ethnographic work compiled by the Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagún (1499-1590), often hailed as one of the most thorough accounts of a non-Western culture.
