Códice Borgia.
by Ferdinand Anders
"Handsomely realized study of this key member of the Borgia Group of pictorial manuscripts, part of a projected series intended to cover all of its five components (see item #bi 00004577#). Here, the editors provide a stunning facsimile of the original along with a detailed, revisionist analysis of the gods and rites featured in the manuscript. An important contribution"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
