The search for the Codex Cardona

on the trail of an sixteenth century mexican treasure

"The Search for the Codex Cardona is the story of Arnold J. Bauer's experiences on the trail of a cultural treasure, a Mexican 'painted book' that first came into public view at Sotheby's auction house in London in 1982, nearly four hundred years after it was presumably made by Mexican artists and scribes."--Back cover.
