The History of the Indies of New Spain. By Fray Diego Durán. Translated, annotated, and with an introduction by Doris Heyden. (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1994. Pp. xxxvi, 642. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. No price.)

Fray Diego Duran's Historia, part one of a projected four-part opus (parts two and three, Book of the Gods and Rites and The Ancient Calendar, are extant and published elsewhere by Heyden and Fernando Horcasitas), is divided into 78 chapters, each with an introductory paragraph as was customary in the sixteenth century. Additionally, sixty-two black-and-white photographic reproductions of indigenous paintings designed and commissioned by Duran highlight key events in this classic epic of native life in ancient Mexico.
