El autor del mapa, desconocido, pudo ser un mexica o un conquistador español, según el sitio de la Biblioteca del Congreso de Estados Unidos (véase [1]), donde se presenta otra versión, monocromática, que pertenece a la colección de grabados iluminados donados a la Biblioteca del Congreso de Estados Unidos por Lessing J. Rosenwald. (Rosenwald Collection, Rare Book and Special Collections Division).
