註釋Códices de México, whose impeccable manufacture led it to obtain this important recognition from the Mexican publishing industry, has texts by prominent historians Miguel León-Portilla and Alfredo López Austin, as well as careful images of 44 ancient documents registered in the Program UNESCO Memory of the World. The introduction to the book, by master Miguel León-Portilla, explains the different topics addressed by the codices, as well as the formats in which they were made. Likewise, it abounds in news and the occasional curiosity regarding several of these documents. Meanwhile, the recently deceased, Alfredo López Austin, in his text 'Time', masterfully outlines the conception of Mesoamerican time and its record in pre-Hispanic books. While Xavier Noguez Ramírez in his essay sheds light on the concept of power and its representation in this type of manuscripts. Finally, the general coordinator of the volume, Baltazar Brito Guadarrama, in the text 'The Five Suns', gives an overview of the most outstanding researchers in the study of Mesoamerican codices, whose personalities he delimits into five great epochs.
