Codex Bodley

The Codex Bodley is an important pictographic manuscript of the Mixtec Group and example of Mixtec historiography. It dates to circa 1500 in a variant of the Mixteca-Puebla style of Codex writing. Its colloquial name comes from the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford, where it's been stored since the 17th century. It is also referred to as the "Codex Ñuu Tnoo" with Ñuu Tnoo-Huahi Andehui being the Mixtec name for an Indigenous settlement in Oaxaca, Mexico also known as Tilantongo (directly from its Nahuatl name), which translates to "Black Town-Temple of Heaven." Tilantongo is the location of the modern town of Santiago Tilantongo.
