	The Codex Borgia
		The Codex Borgia is one of the most beautiful of the few surviving pre-Columbian painted manuscripts.
		The exact place of origin of this codex is not known, however there is no doubt, that it originates from the central Mexican highlands (possibly near Puebla or the Tehuacán Valley), an area which was under Aztec rule at the time of the conquest.
		The drawings are based on the Dover edition “The Codex Borgia - A full-color restoration of the ancient Mexican manuscript”, which is the result of a seven year restoration project, undertaken by Gisele Díaz and Alan Rodgers.

	GBonline \| Borgia Group of Codices
		The Borgia Codex is the finest example of what has been identified as a group of ritual-divinatory manuscripts that appear to have common content and share similar iconographic attributes.
		The Codex Borgia : A Full-Color Restoration of the Ancient Mexican Manuscript is a Dover publication that is highly recommended.
		Goddesses in the Borgia Codex Group written by Marìa de los Angeles Ojeda Dìaz is available in English and in Spanish as Las Diosas en los Còdices del Grupo Borgia: Arquetipos de las mujeres del Postclàsico.

		This "codex" consists of fragments of a very large painting, some of which is believed to have been lost since it was first described by Borutini in the eighteenth century.
		This codex is related to a lawsuit held before the Council of Indies between the Indians of Tepetlaoztoc and the encomendero, Juan Velasquez de Salazar.
		One side of this screenfold codex presents a genealogical and historical narrative divided into six or more sections, including a genealogy of the first and second dynasties of Tilantongo through the marriage of 8 Deer and the genealogy of the rulers of Teozacoalco through the children of the third rulers of the third dynasty.

		Codex Borgia : A Full-Color Restoration of the Ancient Mexican Manuscript Description
		First publication of remarkable repainting of outstanding Mexican codex (priceless original is in Vatican Library), thought to have originated in the Cholula area, ca.
		After extensive research, we have here a great reproduction of what this important work looked like when it was "fresh off the presses." It is beautiful, and in comparison to Dover's similar Codex Nuttall, this work comes with a MUCH better introduction that explains more of the text, the context, and the ideology.

		The rest of the Codex Borgia is a pictorial narrative detailing the attributes of supernatural characters--probably patron gods of the ruling Aztec lineage for which the codex was prepared--and the world they inhabited prior to humanity's existence.
		My working hypothesis has been that the dates designated in the Codex Borgia for the performance of rituals were chosen by Aztec prognosticators, who calculated when the heavenly bodies would be in especially auspicious or dangerous positions.
		Page 28 of the Codex Borgia is, in effect, one page in an almanac produced by astronomer-calculators to suit a particular time and place of celestial observation.

	Essay on precolumbian Mexican [Aztec] Codex Boturini by Karl Young
		The story of the conquest of Mexico by a small band of European soldiers of fortune is one of the most engaging sagas in human history, and, at least in its outlines, one of the best known to contemporary audiences.
		The style of Codex Boturini is deceptively simple: though it shows none of the soul-wrenching force of Codex Borgia, or the serene mastery of Codex Vindobonensis, or the colorful grandeur of Codex Borbonicus, its artist was a master who deserves our respect.
		A comparison of this manuscript with, say, Codex Borgia, Codex Laud, Codex Vindobonensis, the Matriculo de Tributos, the Selden Roll, and the Lienzo de Zacatepec shows that the resources of the native artist were broad and flexible, the product of a mature art.

	Kingsborough Figure - Borgia Codex
		In a plate from the Borgia Codices, the God of Fate, Camaxtli, stands with a serpent attached to the root chakra comparable to Vedic illustrations of kundalini, that literally means "serpent fire".
		The Kingsborough drawing was subsequently copied from an illustration in the codex that showed the calendar glyphs attached to various parts of a human body.
		It is interesting that the seven chakra points that were known in central Mexico were not the topic of the Kingsborough drawing from the Borgia Codex, but that the drawing relates to areas addressed in ritual cleansing as well as the entrance and exit of the soul from the body.

		The third set of 52-days shows two events where the sun is battling for supremacy with the red coral serpent in one frame and in another frame where the red one is being held in place (or receding from the earth?) by a star entity.

		The “Borgia” group of codices have traditionally been treated as religious documents, contrasting them with the more clearly historical Mixtec codices, despite many common ways of using visual symbols.
		But the boundaries are becoming a bit less clear, as we learn more, find actual dates in the Borgia group, and learn more about the gigantic area of central Mexico which had written history and geography and religion.

		They have been variously interpreted as a linkage of humanity to the supernatural, facilitating communication between the two; as symbols of nourishment and rebirth; as paths of sustenance from the gods to humanity; and as a model of the cosmos.
		Bruce Love (1994: 87) suggests that in the Paris Codex, "celestial cords" tie together the opposing realms of life and death as they physically touch deities and other elements of sky and earth.
		These two pages from the Paris Codex demonstrate how the cord may be used to actually structure the narrative sequence of the iconography by framing groups of dates (above, left) or uniting figures separated by the skyband (above, right).
