Each volume features high-quality reproductions of the original manuscript. You can view thirty-eight hand-colored images, including detailed portraits of Inca kings and queens, rendered in color. The halftone reproduction of the calligraphy maintains the visual integrity of the original Ms. Ludwig XIII 16. This boxed set is designed for scholars and history enthusiasts alike.
