^PLATES LV. & LVl. 
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 syihbolic 
figures repeated in the manuscripts of Vienna, 
Veletri, and Rome.
