Mesoamerican Codices

[Walter Koenig]

Dear fellow Listeros,

Thank you for your replies and suggestions. I am familiar with the  
codices on the FAMSI site and also with the publications of ADEVA,  
though these are not comprehensive and also only give partial  
information I seek.
I know of several lists that are partial, for example, in Anders and  
Jansen: "Schrift und Buch im Alten Mexiko", Gordon Brotherston:  
"Painted books from Mexico : codices in UK collections and the world  
they represent" or the two recent books by Elizabeth Hill Boone. It  
has been years since I consulted the "Handbook of Middle American  
Indians" on the subject and I will do so today as per the suggestion  
of Galen and also "Los códices de México : historias extrordinarias"  
as suggested by Kier. I have access to both.

I am in the process of reviewing some books and realized that there  
is no comprehensive listing of codices that I know of which gives  
their approximate place of origin and age, their present location,  
physical description and content, as well as if they were ever  
reproduced with bibliographical information. I would think such an  
overview would be most helpful to students of Mesoamerican Studies in  
a variety of disciplines. If any of you ever come across anything,  
even partial, please let me know.

I am in the process of compiling such a list for my own purposes and  
if I think it meets the standards for distribution I may submit it.

Thanks again for your kind replies. It was encouraging to receive  
your emails.

Best Wishes,

Walter O. Koenig
