Image permissions/copyright

[MAX R HARRIS]

Dear Caroline,

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

Best wishes,

Max Harris
