Códice Pérez, lámina 165
Artista: Anónimo maya
Siglo XVIII · Guatemala
Colección: Arte Maya
This Plate 165 from the Códice Pérez, dated to the 18th century, displays a handwritten page in red ink, transcribing Maya texts into the Latin alphabet. The document is fundamental for the preservation of ancestral Maya history, cosmology, and prophecies, such as the Books of Chilam Balam. Its calligraphic style and the presence of a decorated initial capital are characteristic of the work of colonial scribes who sought to document this rich culture.
