Il manoscritto messicano Borgiano : del Museo etnografico della S. Congregazione di propaganda fide / riprodotto in fotocromografia a spese di s. e. il duca di Loubat a cura della Biblioteca Vaticanna
A facsimile of the Codex Borgia, a pre-Columbian Mexican screenfold manuscript of divinatory calendar pages, reproduced in Rome in 1898 by Danesi and the Vatican Library at the expense of the Duke of Loubat for scholars of Mexican manuscripts. The pages are dense grids of painted deities, calendar signs and ritual scenes in red, ochre, yellow and black on a pale ground, offering a designer strong examples of bold flat colour, repeating modular framing and stylised figure silhouettes.
