The Badianus Manuscript Codex Barberini Latin 241 Vatican Library. An Aztec Herbal of 1552. First Full-Color Facsimile Edition

1940rif. 081609Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins Press 1940. First Full-Color Facsimile Editi. Hardcover. Near Fine/Fair. 12.25" tall x 9.75" wide x 1.5" thick. Illustrated. The first full-color facsimile edition with English translation and scholarly apparatus of the earliest known illustrated medical herbal produced in the Americas. The work’s original title is Libellus de medicinalibus Indorum herbis “Little Book of the Medicinal Herbs of the Indians”. It was compiled in 1552 at the College of Santa Cruz in Tlatelolco Mexico City by two Indigenous scholars: Martín de la Cruz Martinus de la Cruz an Aztec physician wrote the text in Nahuatl Aztec language from native medical experience; and Juan Badiano Juannes Badianus a Latin teacher at the same college translated it into Latin. The manuscript was prepared as a gift for Francisco de Mendoza son of Viceroy Antonio de Mendoza and intended ultimately for the Spanish court. It later passed into the Barberini collection and then the Vatican Library Codex Barberini Lat. 241. It was rediscovered there in 1929 by Charles Upson Clark. The edition made the herbal widely accessible for the first time and remains a landmark in the history of American botany and medicine. The original manuscript was later returned to Mexico by Pope John Paul II in 1990.

"In March 1960 the United Arab Republic appealed to the world through the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization UNESCO to send archeologists to Nubia in order to save the antiquities - discovered or undiscovered - threatened with destruction by submersion under the great new lake to be created by the High Dam under construction on the Nile south of Aswan. The Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago was one of the first institutions to respond. Before March was ended a team was in Cairo arranging for the use of a boat to make a hasty preliminary survey of the Nile Valley in Egyptian Nubia in order to select sites and plan field operations. A four-year concession was granted from 1960 to 1964. The initial plans for areas to be surveyed excavated changed a few times as documented in the preface and the project eventually recorded materials in several areas from Abu Simbel south into the Sudan."
