Codex Zouche-Nuttall

The Codex Zouche-Nuttall or Codex Tonindeye is an accordion-folded pre-Columbian document of Mixtecpictography, now in the collections of the British Museum. It is one of about 16 manuscripts from Mexico that are entirely pre-Columbian in origin. The codex derives its name from Zelia Nuttall, who first published it in 1902, and Robert Curzon, 14th Baron Zouche (1810–1873), whose collection was donated to the British Museum upon the death of his daughter, Darea Curzon, 16th Baroness Zouche, in 1917.
