<div>Dear Caroline and Max:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It is my impression that the days when publishers gave permission
are over, given that libraries claim rights. This was for instance the
case with a request to use images from the UC Berkeley edition of the
Mendoza; they just sent me to the Bodleyian. Having said this,
Caroline, you may as well try Max's recommendation first. It might
work. I am currently waiting for authorization to use a
reproduction of a a page from the facsimile of the Florentine
Codex. Who has the rights? The photographer, the publisher or
the <font face="Comic Sans MS" size="-1"> Biblioteca Medicea
Laurenziana</font>? I have the impression that we had this
discussion before and that the general opinion was that it is the
libraries who hold the rights. Unfortunately, I might add. But this is
not the place for nationalist rant.</div>

In my Aztecs, Moors, and Christians (2000), I used images from the<br>
Codex Borbonicus, ed. Karl Nowotny (1974), courtesy of Akademische<br>
Druck-u. Verlagsanstalt; the Florentine Codex, 13 vols., ed. and<br>
trans. Anderson and Dribble (1950-1982), courtesy of the University
of<br>
Utah Press and the School of American Research; and the Codice
Aubin<br>
[Historia de la nacion mexicana, ed. and trans. Charles Dibble<br>
(1963)], courtesy of Editorial Porrua. None of these publishers
asked<br>
for anything more than the proper acknowledgment.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
