Book info: The Veintena Ceremonies in the Work of Sahagún: Image, Ritual and Text (Studies in Religion and the Arts, 24) (Hardcover, 258 pages) – Brill, 2025. Language: English.

This book provides the reader with an historical and visual information of the monthly Aztec feasts that will help him to envision these impressive religious celebrations. For the first time, a Mexican artist illustrates the veintenas like a tlacuiloque (native painter) in pre-Conquest times. The novelty of this book format (which includes an academic study of the veintenas festivals and twenty-six colourful illustrations of these festivals) makes it appealing to anthropologists, art historians, ethnologists, scholars of religious studies, and the general public.
