Codex Laud

#

odex Laud is a religious manuscript of the so-called Borgia group, which is a key to the understanding of pre-Hispanic religion and calendrics ... (it) appears with a commentary by Cottie Burland, giving a most meticulous description of the manuscript as a whole, supplemented by a page-by-page description to complement the published reproduction. The commentary gives a brief description of the calendrical content and a diagram to facilitate "reading" ... The Laud edition is of great value for making the physical object, the manuscript, directly accessible to students in as close an approximation to the primary source as possible ... (and) gives us the data for subsequent research."
