The Montblanc Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I.
The Limited Edition collection honours the remarkable artistic and architectural achievements of Aztec culture, and the influence of one of its great leaders, Moctezuma I.
Every spring since 1992, Montblanc introduces the Patron of Art pen collection which pays tribute to those who exemplify the importance of art patronage throughout the world. The stellar names include Peggy Guggenheim, Pope Julius II and the latest being Roman emperor Publius Aelius Hadrianus. The Homage to Hadrian pen collection features gold-coated cones and cap tops, a reflection of the Roman buildings commissioned by Hadrian. This year’s Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I continues to be a fantastic example of Montblanc’s expertise in pen making.
Moctezuma I (1398-1469) also known as Moctezuma Ilhuicamina was the second Aztec emperor and fifth king of Tenochtitlan, ruling from 1440 to 1469. Under his reign, Tenochtitlan, which is now the center of Mexico City, blossomed thanks to social, economical and political reforms. The limited edition designs are released as part of the Patron of Art Homage that honours the remarkable artistic and architectural achievements of Moctezuma I. To coincide with the release of the Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Editions, Montblanc is introducing a fine stationery notebook in red calfskin Saffiano leather embossed with traditional Aztec motifs.
The latest Montblanc Patron of the Art Limited Edition 2020 collection is their Ode to Moctezuma 1 the ruler, who has shaped the image of Aztec culture and remains a great inspiration to write our own legacy. I really hope that the glyphs that are on the side of the fountain pen were chosen for their content and not just for an artistic flair. Contacting a Mayan scholar such as Floyd G Lounsbury would have upgraded their end product. I will try to locate and contact his colleagues to spread the word as they should have sufficiently deep pockets to drop the penny. Limited to 87 pieces.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Lounsbury
Beginning in 1938 with his contributions to the Green Bay, Wisconsin-based Oneida Language and Folklore Project, while he was still an undergraduate, Floyd Lounsbury sustained a lifelong interest in indigenous languages—especially those, such as Oneida and Cherokee, in the Iroquoian family. His doctoral dissertation, published in 1953 as Oneida Verb Morphology, remains to this day the scholar’s bible for the basic structure and terminology of Iroquoian languages.
Iroquoian linguistics was not, however, Lounsbury’s only academic focus. He worked in acoustic phonetics and speech recognition; he refined new ways to teach linguistics, particularly with respect to field methods; he critiqued lexicostatistics and glottochronology; he wrote on the psychology of language; and he published on the history of anthropology. He was one of the most sought-after and influential anthropological linguists of his time.
Born and raised in Wisconsin farming communities, Lounsbury enrolled at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1932. He took nearly a decade to complete his undergraduate program because of the Great Depression’s economic necessities, but the extended period also allowed him to come in contact with a wide array of linguists and anthropologists and to adopt a thoughtful and measured approach to undergraduate education. Lounsbury majored in mathematics but also studied languages—primarily German but also Latin, Greek, Scandinavian languages, and Old Irish—along with phonetics, phonology, philology, and emerging theories of structuralist linguistics. After receiving his Ph.D. in anthropology from Yale University in 1949, Lounsbury accepted an appointment to its Department of Anthropology and remained at Yale until his retirement in 1979. Whether in classes, conferences, workshops, or personal conversation, Lounsbury’s students and colleagues considered him ever humble, generous, and insightful, with a prodigious memory for detail, a wide-ranging curiosity, and a formidable intellect.

Fountain Pen Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Edition 4810. USD$13,000.00
Limited to 87 pieces.
www.montblanc.com/en-ca/collection/writing-instruments/pa...
Moctezuma I was crowned ruler of the great Aztec Empire in 1440, thereby ushering in the golden age of the Aztecs. During his reign, he shaped the image of the Aztec state that we are familiar with today – one rich in culture and mythology. The capital city of Tenochtitlán, today’s Mexico City, blossomed under his rule. The Montblanc Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Edition 4810 with champagne-tone gold-coated fittings is dedicated to this supreme ruler of one of the most special cultures in world history. The overall design is inspired by an "atlatl", an Aztec spear-throwing device. The shape of the cone, refined with a hammer finish, is based on an Aztec sacrificial knife with an obsidian blade. The lacquer colors – petrol and carmine red – are inspired by the colors of the royal cloak. Two hieroglyphs decorating the cap symbolize the years of Moctezuma I's reign. The handcrafted Au 750 solid gold nib is adorned with a fine engraving inspired by the Aztec glyph for the city of Tenochtitlán: a three-armed cactus with a royal diadem and two scrolls.
Features
Clip: Champagne-tone gold-coated clip
Barrel: Red lacquered barrel
Cap: Pattern on cap underneath translucent petrol lacquer
NIB: Handcrafted Au 750 / 18 K solid gold, champagne-tone gold-coated nib with special design.
Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 8
This edition, which comprises just eight pieces, is all about the pageantry of Moctezuma I and the Templo Mayor. The pen features an 18-karat champagne-tone gold cap whose elongated shape is set with diamonds, garnets, green tsavorites and multi-coloured sapphires. It is also decorated with a hand engraving of the winged Huitzilopochtli, patron god of the Aztecs.
Three-dimensional engravings of an eagle and cactus represent the foundation myth of the Aztec capital, while the two double-headed snakes symbolize renewal, fertility and luck. The spear-shaped clip is embellished with a triangular-cut green jade, and the cap crown sparkles with a Montblanc diamond. The barrel of the writing instrument is made of dark red jasper, with 18-karat champagne-tone gold inlays.
Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 87 - 2020
This version is limited to just 87 pieces in homage to 1987, the year when the Templo Mayor was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list. The Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 87 employs turquoise, which is a familiar stone used in Aztec decoration, and Central American cocobolo wood, a reference to the material used to make the traditional atlatl.
The mosaic is handcrafted, making every one of the pieces in the edition unique. The mother-of-pearl Montblanc emblem is embedded in an engraving of a traditional Aztec sun disc on the cap crown.
The handcrafted 18-karat gold gold nib is engraved with a glyph denoting the heart, a symbol of sacrifice. A further glyph engraved represents the second name of Moctezuma I: Ilhuicamina (meaning, “He who shoots an arrow into the sky.”).
Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 888
The colors of this edition–turquoise and carmine–were used in fashioning royal garments. The sterling silver pen cap is artfully engraved with a traditional Aztec décor, and the lacquered barrel is engraved with a pattern again reminiscent of Moctezuma I’s cloak. It features four lines in 18-karat champagne-tone gold, evoking the directions that radiated from the Templo Mayor, the main temple and the literal center of the Aztec world.
The spear-shaped clip features an engraving of a quetzal’s feather, and it is set with a triangular-cut green jade. The forepart of the writing instrument and the cone are crafted from sterling silver, contrasting with the 18-karat champagne-tone gold fittings and the handcrafted solid gold nib. The Montblanc emblem, made of mother-of-pearl, is embedded in the engraving of an Aztec sun disk.
On. The right: Montblanc 888 Edition estimate C$3-4,000.00 plus tax.
