Summary
"We present with this book the result of a joint work, which started with the digitalization of the Codice Sierra-Texupan plates, with the special digital repography equipment of the Laparagua Library." (HKB Translation) --Page 9. Pictorgraphic analysis of the Sierra Texupan Codex, a 16th century pictographic manuscript used by the Santa Catalina Texupan community in the Mixteca Alta of Oaxaca to declare income and expenses paid from 1551 to 1564. The codex is a Mixed Codex: it contains Nahuatl and Mixtec glyphs accompanied by glosses in Spanish, Nahuatl and Mixtec written using Latin characters. Every folio is divided into columns. It also has quantities represented by glyphs, and Arabic and Roman numerals. It incorporated European objects, names, pictographic rules and signs. The codex was written on European paper and the amanuenseœ or painter used the European water painting or gouache techniques. Includes full color facsimile of the original colonial manuscript.
