Note IX-79 — Chapter IX · GODS, SUPERNATURAL BEINGS, AND WORSHIP. (continued 2)
Reading edition
There seems to be some confusion with regard to whether or not there were gladiatorial sacrifices in each of the first two months. Sahagun, however, appears to describe sacrifices of this kind, as occurring in both periods; those of the first month being in honor of the Tlalocs and those of the second in honor of Xipe. For a description of these rites see this vol. pp. 414-5.
