  abstract: "Mesoamerican Manuscripts: New Scientific Approaches and Interpretations brings together a wide range of modern approaches to the study of pre-colonial and early colonial Mesoamerican manuscripts. This includes innovative studies of materiality through the application of non-invasive spectroscopy and imaging techniques, as well as new insights into the meaning of these manuscripts and related visual art, stemming from a post-colonial indigenous perspective. This cross- and interdisciplinary work shows on the one hand the value of collaboration of specialists in different field, but also the multiple viewpoints that are possible when these types of complex cultural expressions are approached from varied cultural and scientific backgrounds."--

  note: "The present book is the result of an effort to exchange information about the state of the art in Mesoamerican codex studies between researchers from different disciplines. The important Mexican manuscript collection of the Bodleian Library, Oxford University, became the meeting point for several major projects in this field.... [A] first interdisciplinary conference on 'Ancient Mexican Codices: Scientific and Historical Perspectives', on the 3rd and 4th June 2013 [was held] in the prestigious Accademia dei Lincei, Rome.... This successful encounter inspired a second conference, now with the title 'Mesoamerican manuscripts: new scientific approaches and interpretations', three years later, on the 31st May and 1st June 2016, in one of the most stunning venues in Oxford, the recently refurbished Weston Library (part of the Bodleian Libraries)."--Page xii.
