Dr. Nancy Troike from the University of Texas at Austin authored the introduction to this facsimile edition. She traces the complete known history of this manuscript from its inital appearance in Italy in 1854 to its present location in the British Museum.
Dr. Troike's introduction brings out additional information on this codex not available in commentaries to earlier editions. Also, the ADEVA edition is true color, full size, and in original ancient Mixtec fashion, accordion-folded. The flow of events and personalities is easier to study in a continuous folded format than when broken up by modern bindings in page format.
