notes:
The Aztec calendar consisted of a 365-day calendar cycle called xiuhpohualli (year count for the solar year) and a 260-day ritual cycle called tonalpohualli (day count). Together these two cycles together formed a 52 year "century," shown here. Cf. 08792-1, A collection of voyages and travels, London, 1704, which includes Gemelli Careri's voyage.An abridged translation, variously attributed to Eustache Le Noble (1643-1711) and to L.F. Dubois de Saint-Gelais.Gemelli Careri was a world traveler who went around the world starting with the Holy Land and ending in Mexico. His five-year journey which began in 1693 ended by taking the silver fleet back to Spain from Cuba.
