Mesoamerican Codices

This manuscript, in traditional Mixtec style, treats the life and history of 8 Deer, Tiger Claw from A.D. 1028 to 1048.
(Interpretation by Alfonso Caso in English and Spanish)

This is one of the five divinatory screenfold almanacs of the Borgia Group. The first three sections on the obverse each present a different aspect of the 260-day tonalmatl calendar. The fourth section on the reverse is in a different style and its interpretation is uncertain. It includes deities, what may be offerings, and sets of bar-and-dot numerals.
