	Questions and Answers About an Unknown Artist's CODEX BORBONICUS
		The original Codex Borbonicus consists of one long extense or band of Indian paper produced from the bark of a tree that grows in Mexico which is called the amátl (contemporary Spanish, amate, a type of fig tree).
		The primary function of the Codex Borbonicus was to illustrate all of the elements of the Aztec cycle of 52 years and to function also as a yearly calendar.
		The Codex Borbonicus was one of the calendar-books that unified Aztec culture by summarizing its religion and its dominating gods and goddesses by allocating to them a portion of the Aztec time-cyle.

	ARARA :: issue 6 [Aztec scribes respond to Europe]
		The Codex Boturini annals tell of the migration from Aztlan to Tenochtitlan (Boone 2000: 209-17); the Codex Borbonicus dream book reflects on the longer Mesoamerican story in three thematic chapters (Reyes et al.
		In this text - the Mendoza Codex -, on sheets of European paper, survivors of Aztec ruling class present the new viceroy with an account of the place he had arrived in, revealing their deep understanding of the economic and social system of times before Cortés.
		Overall it may be understood as a wry reflection on the course that Aztec history had taken before and after 1519, and in particular as a highly intelligent response to the papal initiative of 1582.

	"The Continuum of Life in Codex Borbonicus" by Karl Young
		It seems best to present them with specific examples of Aztec iconographic representation, and to move in some instances out of the Quetzalcoatl family, in part to give the images a better and fuller context, in part to show them as the Aztecs saw them in their own writing system.
		The images in the third section center on ceremonies, particularly those that end a 52 year cycle, when "New Fire" must be lit to make the transition from one period to the next.
		Whatever this section may be or whatever the scribes wanted it to be, the opening calender remains a major work of Aztec book art, and gives us clear and well-rendered images of the gods who governed the calendar, and who moved through the continuum of life in the Aztec world.

		Trepanation, a primitive cranial operation used by the Aztecs, is also illustrated, attesting both to Rivera's scholarship and to the use of analgesics (could any patient have borne the excruciating pain without them?).
		At the center of the mural, faithfully copying an image from the early-sixteenth-century Codex Borbonicus, Rivera painted the Aztec goddess Tlalzolteotl, who was connected with cleansing and fertility.
		Below her the artist paid homage to another codex (manuscript book), the Badianus Manuscript, by reproducing the majority of its illustrations.

		One of the main functions of a calender like that in Codex Borbonicus was to interpret that fate.
		The human and animal were born at the same time, and hence shared the same mechanisms of the calender.
