Madrid Codex Detail
Madrid Excerpt
This graphic detail from the Madrid Codex comes to us from a course outline found at http://www.bton.ac.uk/design/MA.COURSE/LFund.html. I don't have the heart to tell them that this is not from the Borgia Codex, but want to thank them anyway for making the graphic available.

They're correct in stating that the Borgia Codex is read in a BOUSTROPHEDONIC manner; that is, from right to left (just like the Mixtec codices), but I don't believe this is the case with the Madrid.
