HIEROGLYPHIC PAINTINGS,

PLATES LV. & LV1. 



The library of Paris possesses no original 

 Mexican manuscripts, but it contains a valua- 

 ble volume, in which a Spaniard, an inhabitant 

 of New Spain, copied, either toward the end of 

 the sixteenth century or the beginning of the se- 

 venteenth, a great number of hieroglyphic paint- 

 ings. These copies are in general very care- 

 fully made, and bear the character of original 

 drawings, as we may judge by the symbolic 

 figures repeated in the manuscripts of Vienna, 

 Veletri, and Rome.
