This paper centers on the collection of accounts on solar eclipses from theera of the Aztecs in Mesoamerica, about 1300 to 1550 AD. We present a list ofall eclipse events complying with the topological visibility from the capitalTenochtitlan. Forty records of 23 eclipses entered the various Aztecmanuscripts (codices), usually those of large magnitude. Each event isdiscussed with regard to its historical context, as we try to comprehend theimportance the Aztecs gave to the phenomenon. It seems that this culture paidnoticeably less attention to eclipses than the civilisations in the "OldWorld". People did not understand the cause of it and did not care as muchabout astronomy as in Babylonia and ancient China. Furthermore, we discuss thelegend on the comet of Moctezuma II. It turns out that the post-conquestwriters misconceived what the sighting was meant to be.
