EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Codex Borgia: A Mesoamerican Manuscript of Ritual and Divination from Pre-Columbian Mexico This striking image showcases a page from the Codex Borgia, an ancient Mesoamerican manuscript written in the Nahuatl language prior to the Spanish conquest of Mexico. The Codex Borgia is renowned for its connection to the Aztec calendar, Tonalpohualli, and offers valuable insights into the religious and cultural practices of the Aztecs. The depicted scene represents the god Tezcatlipoca, the Lord of Days, War, Heaven, and Earth, who served as the antagonist to Quetzalcoatl. Tezcatlipoca was a complex deity with various aspects, including the patron of sorcerers and the god of mirrors. His image is shown here in a horizontal, colorful litography, which is a technique that involves the transfer of an image from a metal plate to paper using water and oil-based inks. The Codex Borgia is currently housed in the Vatican Library in Vatican City, Italy, with provenance from Puebla, Mexico. This precious artifact offers a glimpse into the rich pre-Hispanic heritage of Mesoamerican civilizations, providing invaluable information about their religious beliefs, calendars, and cosmology. The intricate details of the god Tezcatlipoca's image, with his piercing gaze and adorned headdress, serve as a testament to the advanced artistic skills of the Aztecs. This image, along with the rest of the Codex Borgia, continues to fascinate scholars and enthusiasts alike, offering a window into the complex and fascinating world of Mesoamerican culture before the arrival of Europeans. The Codex Borgia is an essential piece of pre-Columbian history, showcasing the depth and complexity of the Mesoamerican civilizations that once thrived in what is now Mexico and Central America. This image, in particular, highlights the importance of the gods in their daily lives and the role they played in their religious practices and calendars.
