EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a facsimile copy of the codex Borbonicus, offering a glimpse into the rich Aztec culture and their intricate calendar system. The detail depicted in this image focuses on the elaboration of the Oxomoco and Cipactonal calendar, meticulously crafted on vellum by skilled Aztec artisans. The mesmerizing glyphs of days and gods intricately woven into this manuscript reveal the deep spiritual beliefs held by the ancient civilization. Every symbol represents a significant aspect of their cosmology, providing insight into their understanding of time and celestial forces. Preserved in a private collection, this facsimile copy is an invaluable piece that allows us to appreciate and study one of Mexico's most important historical artifacts. Originally housed in Bibliotheque de l'Assemblee Nationale at Palais Bourbon in Paris, France, it serves as a testament to cross-cultural exchange between nations. Jean Pierre Courau's masterful capture brings out every pictogram with precision while showcasing its vibrant colors against a backdrop that transports us back in time. This photograph not only celebrates artistic beauty but also invites contemplation about our shared human history.
