Maudslay is a scholarly publication written in the early 20th century. This book examines the historical and architectural details of the Great Temple Enclosure of Tenochtitlan, which was a significant religious and cultural center for the Mexica (Aztec) civilization. The work focuses on reconstructing the layout and details of the temple complex based on early accounts and records.  In this detailed exploration, Maudslay compiles observations from early Spanish explorers and chroniclers, such as Bernal Díaz and Fray Bernardino de Sahagún, to identify various elements of the temple, including its size, orientation, and significance. The temple itself served as a focal point for religious ceremonies, sacrifices, and community gatherings. The text outlines various interpretations of the temple's architecture, including its dimensions and the number of stairways leading to its altars dedicated to the deities Huitzilopochtli and Tlaloc. Through careful analysis of historical descriptions and archaeological findings, Maudslay aims to present a clearer picture of this monumental site and its importance within the ancient city of Tenochtitlan.
