Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una exploración profunda de la historia, la autenticación y la relevancia moderna del Códice Maya de México, el libro más antiguo del continente americano. Los antiguos escribas mayas registraban profecías y observaciones astronómicas en las páginas de libros pintados. Aunque la mayoría se perdieron por el desgaste del paso del tiempo o porque fueron destruidos, se sabía que tres códices mayas prehispánicos habían sobrevivido. Sin embargo, en la década de 1960 apareció en México, en circunstancias misteriosas, un cuarto libro diferente a los demás. Después de cincuenta años de debate sobre su autenticidad, investigaciones recientes con análisis científicos e histórico-artísticos de vanguardia, determinaron que el Códice Maya de México (antes conocido como Códice Grolier) es, de hecho, el libro más antiguo del continente americano: al menos doscientos años más antiguo que los demás. Este volumen ofrece una introducción multifacética a la creación, el descubrimiento, la interpretación y la autenticación científica del Códice Maya de México. Además, un facsímil a todo color y una guía de la iconografía página por página hacen que un amplio público pueda acceder al códice. Otros temas incluyen los usos y la importancia de los libros sagrados en Mesoamérica, el papel de la astronomía en las antiguas sociedades mayas y la continua relevancia del códice para las comunidades mayas contemporáneas. La publicación de este volumen acompaña la exposición que se exhibirá en el J. Paul Getty Museum ubicado en el Getty Center del 18 de octubre de 2022 al 15 de enero de 2023. An in-depth exploration of the history, authentication, and modern relevance of Códice Maya de México, the oldest surviving book of the Americas. Ancient Maya scribes recorded prophecies and astronomical observations on the pages of painted books. Although most were lost to decay or destruction, three pre-Hispanic Maya codices were known to have survived, when, in the 1960s, a fourth book that differed from the others appeared in Mexico under mysterious circumstances. After fifty years of debate over its authenticity, recent investigations using cutting-edge scientific and art historical analyses determined that Códice Maya de México (formerly known as Grolier Codex) is in fact the oldest surviving book of the Americas, predating all others by at least two hundred years. This volume provides a multifaceted introduction to the creation, discovery, interpretation, and scientific authentication of Códice Maya de México. In addition, a full-color facsimile and a page-by-page guide to the iconography make the codex accessible to a wide audience. Additional topics include the uses and importance of sacred books in Mesoamerica, the role of astronomy in ancient Maya societies, and the codex's continued relevance to contemporary Maya communities. This volume is published to accompany an exhibition on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center from October 18, 2022, to January 15, 2023.

Book excerpt: This volume offers new calendrical models and methodologies for reading, dating, and interpreting the general significance of the Madrid Codex. The longest of the surviving Maya codices, this manuscript includes texts and images painted by scribes conversant in Maya hieroglyphic writing, a written means of communication practiced by Maya elites from the second to the fifteenth centuries A.D. Some scholars have recently argued that the Madrid Codex originated in the Petén region of Guatemala and postdates European contact. The contributors to this volume challenge that view by demonstrating convincingly that it originated in northern Yucatán and was painted in the Pre-Columbian era. In addition, several contributors reveal provocative connections among the Madrid and Borgia group of codices from Central Mexico. Contributors include: Harvey M. Bricker, Victoria R. Bricker, John F. Chuchiak IV, Christine L. Hernández, Bryan R. Just, Merideth Paxton, and John Pohl. Additional support for this publication was generously provided by the Eugene M. Kayden Fund at the University of Colorado.

Download or read book The Grolier Codex written by Daniel Castellanos Magaña and published by . This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full-Color edition of The Grolier Codex, codex fragment consisting of 11 damaged pages from a presumed 20 page book and 5 single pages. Discovered in Mexico in 1965, the documents were named for the Grolier Club of New York City, an association of bibliophiles who first photographed, published, and presented the codex, with an analysis by anthropologist Michael D. Coe. Coe's examination revealed that the Grolier Codex is related to the Dresden Codex and, like it, deals with the Venus calendar. The style of the Grolier is hybrid, showing Toltec and Mixtec influences. The codex is poorly preserved; the surviving page fragments display a number of figures in central Mexican style, combined with Maya numbering and day glyphs. The document is currently held by the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Mexico city and is not on public display. The physics institute of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México subjected the codex to non-destructive testing in an effort to determine its authenticity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first translation of a previously unknown Aztec codex and its initiatory teachings for 2012 • Discloses the potential for great spiritual awakening offered at the end of the Aztec calendar cycle • Presents the only existing English-language transcription of the Aztec codex, with line-by-line commentary • Contains the epic poetry and metaphysical insights of Beat poet Marty Matz (1934–2001 In 1961 an unknown Aztec codex was revealed to Beat poet and explorer Marty Matz by a Mazatec shaman in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico. Originally intended for dramatic performance, this codex presents a profound metaphysical teaching describing how the end of time will bring about a visionary ascent. At the behest of his Mazatec teacher, Matz transcribed this pictorial codex into a literary form that would preserve its initiatory teachings and reveal its secret meanings to a wider audience.Pyramid of Fire is an epic poem that provides a vehicle to transport the initiate into the higher realms of consciousness. It represents a barely surviving thread of teachings that have been passed down in secret since the time of the Spanish Conquest. Revealed are the techniques by which man is transported to the stellar realm after death via the solar energy within what the ancients called the “serpent of consciousness.” Line-by-line commentary by Matz and John Major Jenkins provides insights into the perennial philosophy contained in the codex and its relevance to our times.
