First edition. One of 250 copies printed for private distribution. Tall octavo. 10 pp. of text plus the 22-panel accordion fold facsimile of the Codex. Publisher's printed gray wrappers. Small split along top inch of spine (not affecting integrity and hard to discern). A very good copy.The Paris Codex (also known as the Codex Peresianus and Codex Perez) is one of four surviving generally accepted pre-Columbian Maya books dating to the Postclassic Period of Mesoamerican chronology (c. 900?1521 AD) although recent scholarship points to it being of far greater antiquity. The content of the codex is mainly ritual in nature, and one side of the codex contains the patron deities and associated rituals for a cycle of thirteen k atuns (a 20-year Maya calendrical cycle. The reverse of the codex is more varied in nature and includes a section dedicated to a calendrical cycle ruled by Chaac, the god of rain. It also includes information about the prognostication of rainfall and maize crop yields, as well as information about spiritual forces. It was purchased by the Bibliotheque Royale of Paris in 1832 and remains there to today. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 75426
