    I have in my possession what I believe to be an Aztec Codex. Any idea what I could do with it? i.e. finding out more information on it, selling it?

    This seems very unlikely. Would you happen to have any photos of it?

    On further research, it appears to be a facsimile. I was thrown off by how old and beat up it looks.

    From what images I can find of Codex Magliabechiano, it looks like it could be this; but the book has more pages that this codex has.

    I'll post up a few pics when I get a chance

    Where did you get it? Prehaps bring it to someone who can date it.

    If i were to make a guess i would think it could be a scholar or someone who might of studied the original codecs who might have copied diagrams and made notes. Thats only my guess though.

    It would be worth getting checked out anyway as it looks pretty interesting.
