Estudio codicológico del Códice Telleriano-Remensis

Abstract

In the present work was developed a codicological study of the Codex Telleriano-Remensis, with special emphasis at its second and third sections, the Tonalpohualli and the Historical Annals. The facts on its production and past uses were gathered and analysed, beginning from the origin of the paper and how the book was assembled towards its present condition. Based on the analysis, was possible to reaffirm the complexity and heterogeneity of the Telleriano-Remensis. Its contents were produced and used separately before becoming a single document, what can be assured based on the lost sheets at the beginning and end of the quires and the latter binding done in Spain. Also was possible to give better dates on the elaboration of the pictures based on the dates of the paper production.
