Huitzilopochtli, prominently featured in "Montanus de Niewe en Onbekende Weereld" (1671) by Jacob van Meurs, is a central deity in the Aztec pantheon, revered as the god of the sun and war. This seminal work, part of the early European accounts of the New World, offers a unique perspective on Aztec religion and mythology, capturing the essence of Huitzilopochtli at a time when European understanding of indigenous cultures was burgeoning. Huitzilopochtli, whose name translates to "Hummingbird of the South" or "Left-Handed Hummingbird," is depicted as a formidable warrior god, embodying the sun's relentless journey across the sky, battling the forces of darkness to ensure the continuation of life. In the Aztec cosmology, he was born fully armed from his mother Coatlicue and immediately engaged in a cosmic battle with his sister Coyolxauhqui, the moon goddess, and her star siblings, symbolizing the eternal struggle between day and night.

Jacob van Meurs' 1671 publication is a significant historical document, providing insights into the early European interpretations of the New World and its complex religious practices. Through "Montanus de Niewe en Onbekende Weereld," readers gain access to one of the first detailed accounts of Huitzilopochtli, reflecting the fascination and misunderstandings that characterized the European encounter with the Aztec civilization. This work not only contributes to our understanding of Huitzilopochtli but also serves as a crucial reference for scholars studying the cultural exchange and misinterpretations that arose during the early periods of contact between the Aztec world and European explorers.
