Firstly, it explores the concept of codex and its application in the Mesoamerican context, with the interest of locating the proposed documentary grouping criteria based on the remanence of indigenous record systems. Then comes the presentation of each of the copies that constitute the corpus, which includes a brief historical context as well as a select example of some of its graphic characteristics. Finally, the spatio-temporal location of the copies in the history of Mexican written culture is shown, and it concludes with some thoughts on the corpus addressed and the indigenous scriptural and iconographic manifestations in the colonial period. In this way, the purpose of the article is focused on presenting and describing five manuscripts as members of the corpus of Nahua codices held in the National Library of Mexico. En este artículo se abordan cinco manuscritos del periodo colonial que se conservan en la Biblioteca Nacional de México. Para comenzar, el texto explora el concepto de códice y su aplicación en el ámbito mesoamericano, con el interés de ubicar el criterio de agrupación documental propuesto basado en la remanencia de sistemas de registro indígena. A continuación se realiza la presentación de cada uno de los ejemplares que conforman el corpus, en la que se incluye un breve contexto histórico así como un ejemplo selecto de alguna de sus características gráficas. Finalmente, se muestra la ubicación espacio-temporal de los ejemplares en la historia de la cultura escrita mexicana, y se concluye con algunas reflexiones en torno al corpus abordado y las manifestaciones escriturarias e iconográficas indígenas en el periodo colonial. De esta manera, el propósito del artículo se concentra en presentar y describir los cinco manuscritos como integrantes del corpus de códices nahuas resguardados por la Biblioteca Nacional de México. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/12582 10.34096/ics.i48.12582 spa Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/12582/11419 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/12582/11410 Información, cultura y sociedad; No. 48 (2023): June; 49-67 Información, cultura y sociedad; Núm. 48 (2023): Junio; 49-67 1851-1740 1514-8327 Mesoamerica Corpus of codices Indigenous record systems Mesoamérica Sistemas de registro indígena Corpus de códices The Indigenous Pictorial Codices held in the National Library of Mexico Los códices pictográficos indígenas de la Biblioteca Nacional de México info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=biblioinfo&d=12582_oai
