"Ms. Palat. 218-220 Book IX Judgement and Punishment in the Aztec Empire" is a section within the larger work known as the "Florentine Codex," which is a 16th-century ethnographic research study in Mesoamerica by the Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagún. Sahagún, who was one of the first anthropologists, compiled the Codex with the help of his indigenous Nahua students. The Florentine Codex is an invaluable source of information on pre-Columbian Nahua society, culture, and history.

Book IX of the Florentine Codex is dedicated to the Aztec society's understanding of the concepts of judgement and punishment. In this section, Sahagún provides a detailed account of the legal systems, judicial procedures, and the various punishments that were meted out for different crimes in the Aztec empire. The text is a rich source of information on Aztec laws, which were surprisingly complex and sophisticated. It also offers insights into the moral and ethical foundations of Aztec society, as well as the role of authority figures, such as judges and rulers, in maintaining social order.

The manuscript is particularly notable for its thoroughness and the unique perspective it offers, as it was created through direct interaction with indigenous informants who lived during the early period of Spanish colonial rule. The work is divided into twelve books, and it is written in Nahuatl with parallel Spanish translations. Ms. Palat. 218-220 refers to a specific manuscript page within the Florentine Codex, housed in the Laurentian Library in Florence, Italy.

As a primary source for the study of Aztec civilization, "Ms. Palat. 218-220 Book IX Judgement and Punishment in the Aztec Empire" is of immense historical and anthropological significance. It provides a window into the complex legal and moral systems of the Aztec empire before the Spanish conquest and is a testament to the scholarly and methodical approach of Bernardino de Sahagún.
