tonalamatl
The ''tonalamatl'' is a divinatory almanac used in central Mexico in the decades, and perhaps centuries, leading up to the Spanish conquest. The word itself is Nahuatl in origin, meaning "pages of days".〔 León-Portilla (1963) 116-20.〕
The ''tonalamatl'' was structured around the sacred 260-day year, the ''tonalpohualli''. This 260-day year consisted of 20 trecena of 13 days each. Each page of a ''tonalamatl'' represented one trecena, and was adorned with a painting of that trecena's reigning deity and decorated with the 13 day-signs and 13 other glyphs. These day-signs and glyphs were used to cast horoscopes and discern the future.
The best surviving examples of ''tonalamatl'' are the Codex Borbonicus and the Codex Borgia.
