O Códice de Dresden e o culto a Quetzalcóatl
Abstract
This article points out the relations between the war and the Quetzalcóatl´s representations from the Dresden Codex iconography. Besides the sacerdotal prognosis based on the stars´ movement, this important Maya document manufactured during the late pos-classic (1250-1525 d.C.) also presents relevant information about the political-religous life of that society - for example, contexts associated to war and sacrifice. The iconography analysis gives new reading possibilities for the understanding of Quetzalcóatl´s representations, given that the written sources do not cover all situations registered in this pre-hispanic document.
