The Codex Telleriano-Remensis, produced in sixteenth century Mexico on European paper, is one of the finest surviving examples of Aztec manuscript painting.[1] It holds the earliest written evidence of earthquakes in the Americas.[2] Its Latinized name comes from Charles-Maurice Le Tellier, archbishop of Reims, who had possession of the manuscript in the late 17th century.[1]
The Codex is held at the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris.
