Despite being banned from the Americas by Prince Philip of Spain, \u003ci\u003eLa conquista\u003c\/i\u003e fell into the hands of the seventeenth-century Nahua historian Chimalpahin, who took it upon himself to make a copy of the tome. As he copied, Chimalpahin rewrote large sections of \u003ci\u003eLa conquista\u003c\/i\u003e, adding information about Emperor Moctezuma and other key indigenous people who participated in those first encounters. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChialpahin's Conquest\u003c\/i\u003e is thus not only the first complete modern English translation of López de Gómara's \u003ci\u003eLa conquista\u003c\/i\u003e, an invaluable source in itself of information about the conquest and native peoples; it also adds Chimalpahin's unique perspective of Nahua culture to what has traditionally been a very Hispanic portrayal of the conquest. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Susan Schroeder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48291459531003,"sku":"9780804769488","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_9b07f8ae-a32b-4b3e-9c0d-3c587875aa52.jpg?v=1781028276","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/chimalpahins-conquest-9780804769488","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
