The subject of this article is the representation of rituals in pre-Colonial Mixtec codices. The objective is to show the diversity of rituals that were practised during the pre-Colonial period in relation to the ordering of social and natural times, from Mixtec stylistic resources and perspective. As other authors have already expressed, the codices are a primary and essential source for understanding the pre-Colonial period since, in the case of Ñuu Savi (The People of the Rain), they were written by Mixtecs, who explained their own world through these ancient books.
