Record Type: concept
tlahcuilohqueh (scribes (people), <people in crafts and trades by activity>, ... People (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Painter-scribes who created codices in Aztec society. They were responsible for recording important historical events, religious knowledge, dynastic genealogies, and cultural landscapes. Codices were typically made using carbon and other pigments applied to gessoed amate paper, deer skin, woven cotton, or other materials. After the Spanish Conquest, the tlahcuilohqueh continued producing codices, but created a mixed system that combined glyphic writing, pictography, and the Latin alphabet.

Additional Notes:
Spanish ..... Tlacuilos se refiere a pintores-escribanos quienes creaban los códices en la sociedad Azteca. Estaban a cargo de grabar los eventos históricos importantes, el conocimiento religioso, las genealogías dinásticas, y el panorama cultural. Los códices eran típicamente hechos utilizando carbón y otros pigmentos aplicados a papel amate con yeso, piel de venado, algodón tejido u otros materiales. Luego de la Conquista Española los tlacuilos continuaron produciendo códices, pero se creaban usando un sistema mixto que combinaba la escritura con glifos, pictografía, y el alfabeto latino.
