The Codex Nuttall : a picture manuscript from ancient Mexico : the Peabody Museum facsimile / Edited by Zelia Nuttall - New York : Dover Publications , 1975 - 84 p. : illus. ; 22 cm

Originating in what is now the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, the Codex Nuttall was painted by Mixtec artists at some time not to long before the Spanish Conquest. It is, in effect a Book of Kings, one of a series of masterworks narrating in picture and hieroglyph the sacred history of the Mixtecs. Centering around the year 1000 AD., it shows the births of kings, their marriages, offspring and major events in their lives.
