Why read it?
1 author picked Decoding the Codex Borgia as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I am an archaeologist who lived in Mexico for a couple of years long ago. This book reveals the wonderful content of a masterpiece created in native Mexican style and format before the Spanish Conquest of 1519-1521. It is a scholarly book, but not a dry or technical tome. It will transport you into the world of the pre-Hispanic culture of Tlaxcala, a place I know well, where old friends, the descendants of the people who created the Codex Borgia, still live. It's not for everybody, but it might be for you.
