This Photo shows the cover of my copy of a restoration by Diaz and Rodgers that is published by Dover as ISBN 0-486-27569-8 in a good color paperback. The original contained no words; it is faithful to the Nahuatl tradition before the Spanish conquest of Mexico. There are some comments added by Bruce E Byland and there are references to more commentaries by other scholars that attempt to interpret the pictures.
I find this book to show several interesting styles of illustrations produced to illustrate the different modes for organizing the calendar by those who followed the rituals before Europeran influences.
This post will be followed by a variety of descriptions of the ritual calendar and the Solar calendar as they appear to me after reading the commentaries by Bruce Byland.
