Subject
The Codex Borbonicus is considered to be the only Aztec codex whose style matches the pre-Conquest Náhuatl style, but is considered by some scholars to be a colonial copy. It contains the Aztec calendar displaying constellations of the gods along with popular celebrations. The Codex Borbonicus contains no European pictorial or iconographical influences.
Description
The facsimile is of a single 46 ½ x 15 ½ inch sheet of amatl paper folded accordion-fashion into 36 leaves. Three additional pages of commentary in English, French, and German are subsequently included in the facsimile. The Codex Borbonicus facsimile and commentary are contained together in a book casing with a leather spine.
