Lorenzo Boturini Benaduci was a historian, antiquary and ethnographer of New Spain, the Spanish Empire's colonial dominions in North America. He spent eight years in New Spain, from 1736 to 1743, and amassed a large collection of information on Mexican antiquities. The history he wrote was unpublished at the time of his death, but this preliminary work was published in 1746
