Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Vail et al offer new perspectives on the Madrid Codex. They point out that as a result of two workshops on the Madrid Codex sponsored by Tulane University, the structure and content of this manuscript, which until recently have been relegated to the back burner of Maya studies by all but a few scholars, are becoming better understood. Furthermore, they believe that this document, long considered anomalous and sloppy in an artistic sense, can no longer be viewed in isolation but must be seen as part of a pan-Mesoamerican tradition of manuscript painting.
