To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Diaz remarks that the military dress of the warriors consisted of a breast- piece made of quilted cotton, which was completely arrow-proof, and was ado])tcd by the conquerors in place of their heavy steel armour. Their hcLid-dress was a casque ornamented with rich feathers, prominent amongst which were the quetzal. The rank and file wore no clothing except the viaxtli in battle, Yucatan, Mkrida, and the Maya Race. 281 but by painting their faces and bodies in grotesque patterns of brilliant col...ours, and covering their heads with raw cotton, they presented a fierce and gaudy appearance. L-'ainting the face and body with red, black, and white was universal ; on the return from an expedition the warrior's paint was substituted for tattooing. " Stripes, serpents, animals, and birds, " says Cogolludo, "were the favourite devices for this kind of decoration, according to their military order ; the warrior being entitled to a fresh hiero- glyph after each notable feat of arms, an old veteran came to have his whole body covered with them.
