A page from the Dresden codex, Maya manuscript North Male Atoll in St Giles without CripplegateA page from the Dresden Maya Manuscript, 1901. The Dresden Codex is held in the Schsische Landesbibliothek, the state library in Dresden, Germany. It is the finest surviving example of works of Mayan literature written on paper made from bark. Many existed at the time of the Spanish conquest of Mexico and Central America but the vast majority were destroyed by the Spaniards.
