Enter the Oldest Book of the Americas
The Dresden Codex is the most complete and best-preserved Maya codex in existence—an extraordinary document that survived colonial destruction, firebombing, and centuries of misinterpretation. This version, published in 1932 by William Gates, was one of the first serious efforts by a Western researcher to interpret the codex’s astronomical content.
This free standard-definition PDF includes a full-color facsimile of the codex, along with Gates’ original notes, diagrams, and commentary. While later interpretations have advanced far beyond his work, this edition remains a historical milestone and a useful tool for understanding the evolution of Mayanist thought.
By signing up, you’ll enter the Dresden Codex Content Stream, a dedicated email series exploring the codex's meaning, mysteries, and its ongoing role in the revival of Maya cosmology. You’ll get breakdowns of glyphs, astronomical references, and insight into how this document shapes the Mystics of the Maya project.
This is more than a download—it’s your entry into a living legacy of timekeeping, prophecy, and Indigenous resistance.
