MEXICO, the Tro-Cortesianus or Madrid codex combines the codex Troano and Cortesiano: it is only one codex; Brasseur de Bourbourg facsimile (1869); Maya culture. The first hunter, carrying spears, is bitten by a snake; the second one is tiding a rope around the deer. Above, lines and dots are numbers, often elements of the calendar. On the left, glyphs are a writing system where certain glyphs express concepts, others syllables. This codex is made of horoscopes and calendars in order to assist the priests in their predictions and ceremonies.
