The Lords of the Night and the Tonalamatl of the Codex Borbonicus (1900)

The Lords of the Night and the Tonalamatl of the Codex Borbonicus is a book written by Charles Pickering Bowditch in 1900. The book is a detailed study of the ancient Mesoamerican calendar system, particularly the Tonalamatl, which is a divinatory almanac that was used by the Aztecs and other pre-Columbian civilizations. The Tonalamatl is a complex system that consists of 260 days, each of which is associated with a specific deity or supernatural being. The book also explores the Lords of the Night, a group of nine deities who were believed to rule over the night hours. Bowditch's work provides a comprehensive analysis of the Codex Borbonicus, a pre-Columbian manuscript that contains detailed information about the Tonalamatl and the Lords of the Night. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of Mesoamerican culture and history, as well as anyone interested in the ancient calendar systems of the Americas.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1900 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
