| Résumé : | In the ritual cycle of the solar and divinatory calendars, the ancient Nahuas created edible effigies of their gods using amaranth dough mixed with maize and honey, known as tzoalli. This article returns to the tzoalli dough and its uses, and tries to answer several questions that have never been addressed. Through a systematic study of the sixteenth-century sources, written and painted, the characteristics of the tzoalli used as "flesh of the gods" are analyzed. |
