Joseph Florimond, duc de Loubat (1837 - 1921), was a wealthy American bibliophile, author, sportsman, and philanthropist whose title was awarded in 1893 by Pope Leo XIII in return for his generosity to the Church. Of great importance to Mesoamericanists are the PreColumbian manuscripts: Codex Borgia, Codex Fejérváry-Mayer, Codex Vaticanus B, and Tonalamatl Aubin. FAMSI is delighted to provide access to these codex facsimilies in conjunction with Universitätsbibliothek Rostock, Bibliothek der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (BBAW) and Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg, with thanks to Michael Dürr FAMSI project coordinator, Mr. Rosenau of Mikro-Univers, Ms. Danielewski and Dr. Thiemer-Sachse of the Free University of Berlin.
