Today less than twenty extant manuscripts are all that remains of the Mesoamerican book-making tradition. These pictographic and hieroglyphic texts have often been studied for their content, but in doing so their nature as physical objects faded into the background. By tracing the paths these books have followed over the past five hundred years, this study acquaints the reader with their production, use and re-use, destruction, rediscovery and reinvention. Even today, in fact, these books continue to add new chapters to their biography. That is, thanks to the most cutting-edge technology currently available, it has now been possible to uncover a completely new text from inside one of these precious and fragile manuscripts. 630 00 $a Codex Selden. 630 07 $a Codex Selden. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01393802 650 0 $a Manuscripts, Mexican (Pre-Columbian) 651 0 $a Central America $x Antiquities. 650 7 $a Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810745 650 7 $a Manuscripts, Mexican (Pre-Columbian) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01008435 651 7 $a Central America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244535 830 0 $a Archaeological studies Leiden University ; $v 31. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217024723.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C80AEAE8E55311E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
