Tenochtitlan

Welcome to the Aztec Place Name Glyphs Project in the Department of Geography at the University of California, Berkeley.

In 1885 Don Antonio Peñafiel published his "Nombres Geográficos de México," an annotated listing of all the place name glyphs included in the Matricula de Tributos and the Codex Mendocino. The book includes an Atlas with 39 colored plates and a total of 462 glyphs. In the Aztec Place Name Glyphs Project we made this book available online.
