The author of this extraordinarily rare and valuable document was Martín de la Cruz, an Aztec physician, whose work was subsequently translated into Latin by an Aztec nobleman, Juan Badiano.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe book was translated into English in 1939 by William Gates. In these pages are centuries-old Aztec remedies for boils, hair loss, cataracts, insomnia, sore throats, hiccups, gout, lesions, wounds, joint diseases, tumors, and scores of other ailments. Over 180 black-and-white figures of the plants augment the text, along with 38 full color illustrations made specially for the Gates edition. Additional supplements include an introduction to the Mexican botanical system, an analytical index of the plants, and a new Introduction by anthropologist Bruce Byland of the City University of New York.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRemarkable for its scope, detail, careful observation, and accurate description, An \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAztec Herbal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e stands as a magnificent example of the impressive medical knowledge of indigenous peoples.
