Fray Bernardino de Sahagún (1499-1590) directed the composition of an encyclopaedic work on the world of the Nahuas, -Universal History of the Things of New Spain- (ca. 1577-1579), for which he has received the title of pioneeering ethnographer and anthropologist of colonial Mexico. Contextualizing Sahagún and this work in sixteenth-century Spain and America, this study presents him as a cultural translator who reconceptualized the Nahua world according to his own Euro-Christian categorization of knowledge for evangelization purposes. Sahagún-s so-called ethnographic metod of data collection is discussed from the perspective of its reliance on confessional and inquisitorial techniques.
