Codex Laud
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Codex Laud (or Laudianus; catalogued as MS. Laud Misc. 678, Bodleian Library in Oxford) is an important sixteenth century manuscript associated to William Laud : that English archbishop was former owner of this ancient Mexican codex.
It is from the Borgia Group, and is a pictorial manuscript (consisting of 24 leaves = 48 pages) from Central Mexico, dating from before the Spanish takeover. It is evidently incomplete (part of it is lost).
It is published (with an "Introduction" by C. A. Burland) in Volume XI of CODICES SELECTI of the Akademische Druck- u. Verlagsanstalt, Graz.
In its content, it is similar to Codex Bodley as well as to Codex Borgia.
