Codices from 15th and 16th century Mexico. These Mesoamerican manuscripts described wars, victories, famine, pestilence, religious events, and other elements of ancient Mesoamerican culture. The codices often consisted of one long extension or band of paper called amatl, produced from the bark of a type of fig tree. Glyphs, or pictorial representations, were used for the text. |

Show detached, but there is no real damage to the document, and in no case can as much as a square centimetre of the interior surface of the join be seen. It is simply white, and there is no apparent trace of any painting. The Codex has been numbered by the Bodleian Library in the system used for other ancient books, with a series of folio numbers. The pencil numbers are written only on the frontal or recto side of the codex, and the dorsal or verso side lacks numbers. In our edition we give the number of the page on the back of each numbered page with the letter D, beside it. Thus Fol. 3 D is the painting at the back of Fol. 3. The numbering of the folios has been commenced as near as possible to the dedicatory page of the Codex which includes the illustration of Tlaloc as Lord of all the Days. We thus read the sequence of folios from left to right in the same direction as our normal letterpress. Fol. 1 is the "Sunset" page and is backed by Fol. 1 D. which is the top cover of the document bearing its library indentification. Fol. 2. is the Dedicatory page. Fol. 2 D. is part of the series dedicated to Mictlantecuhtli. Folio 24 is the present conclusion of an incomplete series of progression through time and is backed by Fol. 24 D. which is the plain nback" cover of the document. We include a diagram of the lay-out of the pages which will make this matter clear as well as the distribution of the different subjects throughout the document. Further clarification is to be found in synopsis of page numbers in existing editions of Codex Laud on p. 31. THE CONDITION OF THE INDIVIDUAL PAGES: FRONTAL SIDE Folio 1. Library stamp near top. Page marked by thin film of dust. Surface a little flaked exposing small areas of underlying skin. Its edges have been protected by the cover sheet backing it, which projects about 1 mm. beyond the three exposed edges. Folio 2. A scar in the upper right quarter of the page has cut right through to the leather. It appears to have been a single act of violence, and one wonders if it was the first stroke of a process intended to clear |
