Dresden Codex

The 1932 color restoration by William Gates. Republication by Ecological Linguistics on acid-free paper.  Like the Dover editions of the Nuttall and Borgia codices, this is a faithful reconstruction, easier to read than a facsimile. Sheets are printed on both sides in such a way that they can be made into a fanfold if desired, or can be kept flat.
