The Narrative of Some Things of New Spain and of the Great City of Temestitan is one of the sources for the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire dating from the 16th century, one of the many surviving contemporary Spanish accounts from the period of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire and central Mexico (1519–1521). However, unlike conqueror accounts which highlight individual deeds worthy of rewards from the Spanish crown (a genre called probanzas or relaciones de méritos y servicios, the Anonymous Conqueror's account is descriptive of indigenous life at the time of the conquest.

  • The Narrative of Some Things of New Spain and of the Great City of Temestitan is one of the sources for the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire dating from the 16th century, one of the many surviving contemporary Spanish accounts from the period of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire and central Mexico (1519–1521). However, unlike conqueror accounts which highlight individual deeds worthy of rewards from the Spanish crown (a genre called probanzas or relaciones de méritos y servicios, the Anonymous Conqueror's account is descriptive of indigenous life at the time of the conquest. The author of the document is unknown, and is referred to as a Companion of Hernán Cortés (or simply "The Anonymous Conqueror" or "Gentleman of Cortés"). The account, firstly published in Italian in 1556 by Giovan Battista Ramuso as part of his work "Delle Navigationi et Viaggi", has been translated to English in Patricia de Fuente's 1993 University of Oklahoma Press publication, The Conquistadors: First-person Accounts of the Conquest of Mexico. The Narrative provides descriptions of the life and culture of the pre-Columbian Aztec/Mexica and surrounding peoples of the Valley of Mexico, as they were first encountered by the expedition of Conquistadores under Hernán Cortés. This narrative describes everything from the land and animals, to military concerns, to food and drink, to religion and government, to architecture and beyond. Historians are divided as to whether the Narrative is a genuine narrative or merely based on reports from returning Conquistadors. It also contains information on the weapons of the Aztecs in comparison to those of the Spaniards. (en)
  • La Relazione d'alcune cose della Nuova Spagna e della gran città di Temestitan Messico (in spagnolo: Relación de algunas cosas de la Nueva España, y de la gran ciudad de Temestitán México), o Relazione del conquistatore anonimo, è un documento storico databile al XVI secolo, uno dei pochi resoconti contemporanei spagnoli sopravvissuti al periodo della conquista spagnola dell'impero azteco e del Messico centrale (1519-1521). L'autore del documento è sconosciuto; di solito ci si riferisce a lui come a "un compagno di Hernan Cortes, il conquistatore anonimo" (o semplicemente "il conquistatore anonimo"). Il testo originale spagnolo è andato perduto. L'opera fu pubblicata nel 1556 dal Gianbattista Ramusio in italiano (con il titolo Relatione di alcune cose della nuova Spagna, & della gran città di Temestitán Messico; fatta per uno gentil'homo del signor Fernando Cortese), e poi da questa tradotto in inglese, spagnolo e francese. La Relación offre descrizioni della vita e della cultura di Aztechi/Mexica precolombiani e dei vicini popoli che abitavano la Valle del Messico, così come furono incontrati la prima volta dalla spedizione dei conquistadores guidati da Hernán Cortés. Quest'opera descrive tutto, dalle terre agli animali, dagli aspetti militari al cibo ed alle bevande, dalla religione al governo politico, fino all'architettura ed oltre. Gli storici sono divisi sul fatto che il libro sia stato scritto su esperienze personali o in base ai racconti riportati dai primi esploratori. (it)
