HUEMATZIN (way-mat-seen'), Toltec scholar, lived about the end of the 8th century. He was the most celebrated philosopher of Tula, and is generally believed to be the collector of the historical paintings called "Teomaxtly," the divine book, a kind of cyclopaedia of the history, laws, customs, sciences, and arts known to the Toltees. It also describes the migrations of the nation after they left the shores of Asia till their arrival in the Anahuac valley, and relates the different sojourns of the tribes on the banks of the river Gila before crossing it. The " Teomaxtly" was included in that magnificent library of Aztec and Toltec volumes condemned to be burned by the Bishop of Mexico, Zumarraga, under the pretence that they were works of infidels. Huematzin was not, as it is generally believed, an Aztec. According to the most recent researches of the Vicar of Rabinal, Brasseur de Bourbourg, he belonged to the more cultured race of the Toltecs, which, although subjugated afterward by the Aztecs, remained the monopoly of science and sacerdotal education in the ancient Mexican empire.
