Codex Colombino

The Codex Colombino is a part of a

Mixtec lord Eight Deer Jaguar Claw (fl.
11th century AD).

The other half of the Colombino Codex is known as "Becker I", and was purchased by Phillip Becker, a German collector, from the

Aja-Villagómez family in Acatlán de Osorio, Puebla. It is currently in Vienna. For that reason, the entire codex often goes by the name Codex Colombino-Becker.[1]

Several editions of both the Colombino and the Becker have been published. The most commonly used facsimile of the Colombino is accompanied by the commentary of

Mixtec codices, particularly the Codex Zouche-Nuttall.[2]
