Ex-Stendahl Collection
Scope and Contents Note
The Ex-Stendahl Collection consists of three 16th century colonial Mexican documents: a version of the Lienzo de Tlaxcala (often called the Texas fragment
), a boundary document, and a genealogy. The collection is named Ex-Stendahl based on the practice of naming documents after their private owner, in this case Alfred Stendahl and the Stendahl Galleries in California. The items were purchased in 1964 by the Huntington Art Gallery at the University of Texas at Austin, and transferred to the Benson Collection in 1993. Detailed narrative descriptions of the documents are available in the reading room.
Please note that this entire collection has been digitized and is available via the University of Texas Libraries Collections Portal
