If you loved the Codice/Codex Borgia or have a passion for Aztec and pre-Columbian Mexican art, this facsimile will certainly captivate you. The Facsimile Edition of the Codex Tudela is a meticulously crafted reproduction of an important 16th-century Mesoamerican manuscript that offers a vivid window into pre-Hispanic life and the early colonial period. Published in 2002, it faithfully reproduces the original codex, created between 1553 and 1554. The manuscript comprises 118 pages and features 83 full-color illustrations depicting rituals, deities, daily activities, and the blending of indigenous and European traditions after the Spanish conquest. Its content is divided into three sections: Magliabechiano Tudela fragment: religious ceremonies, deities, and calendar practices. Ritos y Costumbres: indigenous customs, including divination rites and sacrificial practices. Indígena: written in both Nahuatl and Spanish, offering an indigenous perspective on colonial authority and Christianity. The Codex Tudela is considered a key ethnographic source for understanding Aztec religion, social structures, and the early impact of European colonization on Mesoamerican cultures. Though its authorship is unknown, scholars believe it was produced by indigenous scribes under Spanish oversight. The original manuscript is preserved in the Museo de América in Madrid. The facsimile edition includes a commentary volume (in Spanish only) and is an essential acquisition for anyone interested in pre-Columbian art and culture. Seller Inventory # ABE-1739527467567
