The Codex Bodley—also known as the Codex Ñuu Tnoo—is a pictorial screenfold created in the highlands of Mixteca in the early sixteenth century, before the arrival of Europeans in 1521. The obverse describes the history of Tilantongo (Ñuu Tnoo, modern Oaxaca), and the reverse relates the dynastic history of Ndisi Ñuu and Achiutla. These histories are told in pictographs in a palette dominated by red, yellow ocher, and black that proceed in a zig-zag pattern over forty pages.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
