For various reasons, #Codex Egerton 2895 occupies a special place among the manuscripts of the Mixtecs, a group of the indigenous population of Mexican. In terms of its format and content, as well as in terms of the iconography chosen, it clearly derives from the indigenous tradition before the Spanish Conquista of Mexico. Furthermore, the #illustrations are explained in the #Mixtec language – a great stroke of luck for research! Its peculiarity, however, is mainly due to the fact that this codex has been provided with accompanying inscriptions in Latin script, as well as some European influences in the art. As a result, it became possible to determine many places and names for the first time. A long genealogy, which is based on the lineage of the mothers, is another special feature in this exceptional codex. It is thus an example of the unification of the indigenous Mexican and European traditions.
