Description

Also known as “The Oldest Book of the Americas”, the Maya Codex of Mexico was created nearly a thousand years ago and stands as the earliest of the surviving Maya manuscripts. Though badly damaged, its pages still carry extraordinary meaning. This edition presents a complete digital restoration of the codex along with explanations of its glyphs, imagery, and purpose, bringing an ancient voice back to life. Designed as an educational art book, this work explores not only the restoration but also the very materials and methods of its creation. From the vivid Maya blue, deep charcoal black, and vibrant red pigments to the amate paper and shells once used to hold the inks, the book uncovers the artistry and ingenuity of the Maya scribes who crafted it. With hundreds of detailed images, Joaquín de la Sierra restores not only the codex itself but also the cultural and spiritual world that shaped it. The result is both a visual treasury and a window into the imagination of one of history’s most remarkable civilizations.
