Codex Borbonicus

The Codex Borbonicus is an ancient Aztec manuscript dating from the early 16th century, shortly after the Spanish conquest of Mexico. It serves as a ritual calendar, detailing religious ceremonies, festivals, and the gods worshipped by the Aztecs. The manuscript is notable for its rich illustrations and intricate symbolism, providing insight into Aztec culture, beliefs, and social organization. Currently housed in the Bibliothèque de l'Assemblée Nationale in France, it is one of the most important surviving documents from pre-Columbian America, highlighting the complexity and richness of Aztec civilization before European influence altered its course.
