7. Códice franciscano, 54. Scholars typically prefer the term “Nahua” over “Aztec” for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that the latter term is generally used to represent only the Mexica. On the other hand, “Nahua” represents the Mexica and all other native cultures in central Mexico that shared the common language of Nahuatl.

13. Although a model of centers and peripheries provides a useful framework when speaking of generalities, its ability to prescribe outcomes is limited by exceptions. Surely there were Mayas who surpassed their Nahua counterparts in religious education despite their peripheral location. In Magistrates of the Sacred, Taylor provides a useful analysis, showing the abilities and limits of such a model (45–46).
14. Thompson, Tekanto, 17.
15. Códice franciscano, 56–57.
16. Indeed, the Códice franciscano records the Franciscan’s displeasure with those who teach indifferently and who raise commoners to be rulers in their towns (55–57).
