I claim that all codices are stolen propertty.
Most codices are conserved inside national treasuries outside the country from which they were stolen, Mexico. The Mexican Federal government now has laws that prohibit export of the national treasures but Mexico has very few of the codices produced before the 16'th century and stolen by assorted theives.
This problem has recently surfaced through my efforts to publish my studies of other codices of the Borgia group. I hope that the Codex Borgia can be understood in relation to others of the same artistic style. My search led to the Liverpool museum. I have referenced a complete file of my correspondence with that museum to date in my google documents here.
I am still waiting for a published book which I hope will show the original illustrations which I could photograph and use for illustrations on this blog. You can see that the museum in Liverpool says I am not allowed to put pictures on my blog unless they receive a fee!
Maybe academic freedom is not allowed in the British Empire for stolen property!
The image below came from Wikipedia writeup on Codex Fejervary-Mayer but Liverpool museum did not tell me it was there in the public domain!
Please comment regarding this on my blog.
The Liverpool museum did not provide this index to all the pages but google provided a link to an index here.
