A community-maintained tertiary reference on the Florentine Codex, directly examined. Its strength is a precise compilation date range and a named book-by-book structure identifying exactly where the prayer material sits; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than a Nahuatl philology monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.
