Codex Telleriano-Remensis

The Codex Telleriano-Remensis, produced in sixteenth century Mexico on European paper, is one of the finest surviving examples of Aztec manuscript painting.

[2] Its Latinized name comes from Charles-Maurice Le Tellier, archbishop of Reims, who had possession of the manuscript in the late 17th century.

[2] This was found by Gerardo Suárez and Virginia García-Acosta to be the earliest references to seismic activity in the Americas.

[2] Suárez commented that the find was not surprising since earthquakes were both frequent in the area and important to Mesoamerican cosmology.

[2] In 1995, a reproduction of the Codex Telleriano-Remensis made from films was published by the University of Texas, with commentary by Eloise Quiñones Keber.
