Translate Florentine Codex Temezcal
Budget: €30 – €250 EUR
I need the key passages in the Florentine Codex (Things of New Spain) that mentions the temazcal—sometimes spelled 'temezcal' and known in English as a "sweat lodge"—located, extracted, and rendered into clear, faithful English.
Scope
• Work directly from the original language(s) in the Codex (Classical Nahuatl and the parallel 16th-century Spanish) so the meaning is preserved.
• Capture the main/primary occurrences, noting its book, chapter, and folio for easy cross-checking. It's not necessary to search out "every" occurence. Major passages are sufficient
• Provide only the full, line-by-line translation of those excerpts; no summaries, commentary, or analysis are needed.
Deliverable
A single Word document that:
1. Lists each reference with its precise citation.
2. Presents the English translation immediately beneath each citation.
3. Follows the Codex’s sequence so researchers can trace the context quickly.
Accuracy and fidelity to the source are critical. If you already have access to high-quality facsimiles or digital scans, mention it—otherwise plan time to locate reliable editions.
