Hello everyone,
LACMA is looking to acquire a copy of the Florentine Codex facsimile for an
upcoming exhibition. Please let me know if you have any leads on where we
may purchase or borrow a copy. A description from one of our curators is
below. Worldcat holdings have been consulted.
Thank you!
Alexis

"The original Florentine Codex, which is in a library in Florence, hence
the name, has 12 books but is bound in three volumes.  We're trying to find
a facsimile that reproduces the codex in its original version, divided into
three volumes...

There is a 1979 facsimile edition that was made by the National Archive in
Mexico, but only 2000 copies were made, so it's difficult to find, see here
<https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/florentine-codex-1979-color-facsimile-407387894>
.

Here is the digitized version of what the third volume of the set looks
like: https://www.wdl.org/en/item/10623/view/1/1/"
