A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Grolier Codex, codex fragment consisting of 11 damaged pages from a presumed 20 page book and 5 single pages. Discovered in Mexico in 1965, the documents were named for the Grolier Club of New York City, an association of bibliophiles who first photographed, published, and presented the codex, with an analysis by anthropologist Michael D. Coe. Coe’s examination revealed that the Grolier Codex is related to the Dresden Codex and, like it, deals with the Venus calendar. The style of the Grolier is hybrid, showing Toltec and Mixtec influences. The codex is poorly preserved; the surviving page fragments display a number of figures in central Mexican style, combined with Maya numbering and day glyphs. The document is currently held by the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Mexico city and is not on public display. The physics institute of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México subjected the codex to non-destructive testing in an effort to determine its authenticity.
