Codex Bodley

Codex Bodley, p. 21

The Codex Bodley is an important pictographic manuscript, and example of the native Mixtec historiography. It was named after the colloquial name of the Bodleian Library, where it has been stored since the 17th century. ^[1]

While the exact dates of its creation are difficult to establish, judging from its content, it was completed shortly before the 1521 Spanish conquest of Mexico.
