Everything about Juan Bautista De Pomar totally explained
Juan Bautista de Pomar (c.
1535 –
1590) was an historian and writer interested in
pre-Columbian Aztec history.
Based on references by
Fray Juan de Torquemada, we can estimate that he was born in
1535 at
Texcoco. He was the great grandson of
Nezahualcoyotl, and was
half-Spanish on his father's side. Considered noble by the Spaniards, he was able to obtain one of his great-grandfather's royal houses, known as the Netzahualcoyotl, in Texcoco.
Pomar was raised as a
Christian but learned Aztec tradition from his mother. He was
bilingual and spoke and wrote in both Spanish and the native language of the Aztecs,
Nahuatl. He is credited with one of the most important compilations of
Nahuatl poetry, "
Romances de los señores de Nueva España".
Pomar's major work includes an account of the
Aztecs and
Tlatelolcas "Relación de Juan Bautista Pomar" completed in
1582. He interviewed aged
Native Americans, who recounted memory of the older and lost customs of their people. His account, written at the suggestion of the protomedic of
Phillip II of Spain, complements with the works of
Bernardino de Sahagun and
Fernando de Alva Cortés Ixtlilxochitl.
Pomar also wrote an account with the intention of claiming his rights to the legacy of Nezahualcoyotl.
