‘Codex Corner’: earliest earthquake record

The Spanish gloss notes the dates of the first three earthquakes as 1460, 1462 and 1468. The glyphs, drawn in Indigenous style, clearly consist of two joined elements - ‘movement’ and ‘earth’ (olin and tlalli in Nahuatl). Earthquakes, common in Mexico, were believed to be caused by the giant earth monster deity stretching and waking up. Furthermore, scribes were particularly at pains to record the occurrence of earthquakes given the Mexica belief in the fifth world era (in which we still live today) feared to end in violent earthquakes.

The above images are details from folios 33r, 33v and 38r.
