Wikipedia's article on the Codex Borbonicus, an Aztec pictorial manuscript on a single 14.2 metre sheet of amatl bark paper, made around the time of the Spanish conquest and held by the Bibliotheque de l'Assemblee Nationale in Paris, a French national treasure barred from leaving the country since the 1960s. The article describes its divinatory calendar of trecena periods each ruled by a deity, and its 52 solar year cycle panel highlighting Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca.
