Paris Codex
The ''Paris Codex'' (also known as the ''Codex Peresianus'' and ''Codex Pérez'')〔 is one of three surviving generally accepted pre-Columbian Maya books dating to the Postclassic Period of Mesoamerican chronology (c. 900–1521 AD).〔Sharer and Traxler 2006, p. 126.〕 The document is very poorly preserved and has suffered considerable damage to the page edges, resulting in the loss of some of the text. The codex largely relates to a cycle of thirteen 20-year ''k'atuns'' and includes details of Maya astronomical signs. The ''Paris Codex'' is generally considered to have been painted in western Yucatán, probably at Mayapan. It has been tentatively dated to around 1450, in the Late Postclassic period (AD 1200–1525). More recently an earlier date of 1185 has been suggested, placing the document in the Early Postclassic (AD 900-1200). However, the astronomical and calendrical information within the codex are consistent with a Classic period cycle from AD 731 to 987 indicating that the codex may be a copy of a much earlier document. The ''Paris Codex'' is currently held at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris, in the Département des Manuscrits, catalogued as Mexicain 386.〔Noguez et al 2009, p. 17. Bibliothèque Nationale de France 2011.〕 ==Physical characteristics== The codex is formed from a strip measuring long by high, folded into 11 sheets painted on both sides.〔 The ''Paris Codex'' is very poorly preserved, comprising a number of fragments;〔Coe 1999, p. 200.〕 the lime plaster coating of the codex is badly eroded at the edges, resulting in the destruction of its hieroglyphs and images except in the centre of its pages.〔Sharer and Traxler 2006, p. 127.〕
