Two open pages of an ancient manuscript
Artista: Anónimo novohispano (Códice Ramírez)
Siglo XVI · México
Colección: Códice Ramírez
This image displays two open pages from a valuable anonymous New Spanish manuscript, dating from the 16th century. Crafted with formal and meticulous calligraphy on high-quality paper or parchment, the text reflects the writing and knowledge transmission practices during the early viceroyalty. The absence of visual ornamentation directs attention exclusively to the content, suggesting a document for study or essential record-keeping for the administration, academia, or evangelization of the period.
