"Excellent color plates of pictorial folding manuscripts and line drawings provide a fascinating insight into precolumbian Mixtec culture. Included are the Códices Fejérváry Mayer, Laud, Cospi, Borgia, Vindobonensis, Nuttall, Vaticanus, Dresdensis, and Codex Porfirio Díaz. Emphasizing the significance of recent technology, which facilitates increased study of these ancient manuscripts, the accompanying well-written text, translations, and interpretations make this volume a valuable addition to Mexican ethnography and ethnohistory"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
