He was sent from Spain on a religious crusade to Mexico to “detect the sickness of idolatryâ€, but Bernardino de Sahagún instead became the first anthropologist of the New World. Translated into English by Mauricio Mixco, León-Portilla's account presents Sahagún as a complex individual - a man of his times yet a pioneer in many ways.
