The tonalamatl which appears in the middle part on plate 28--that is, Dresden 15b--extends over on page 16b, where there is a black 13 and a red 1. The student will have little difficulty in reaching the result which follows: The last day sign is the same as the first, and consequently this tonalamatl is divided into four, instead of five, divisions: ---------------------+----------+---------+----------+---------- |1st |2d |3d |4th |Division |Division |Division |Division ---------------------+----------+---------+----------+---------- 1st part, 13 days, | | | | beginning with day |1 Ik |1 Manik |1 Eb |1 Caban | | | | 2d part, 31 days, | | | | beginning with day |1 Men |1 Ahau |1 Chicchan|1 Oc | | | | 3d part, 8 days, | | | | beginning with day |6 Cimi |6 Chuen |6 Cib |6 Imix | | | | 4th part, 13 days, | | | | beginning with day |1 Ix |1 Cauac |1 Kan |1 Muluc | | | | Total number of days |65 |65 |65 |65 ---------------------+----------+---------+----------+---------- Applying rule 4 (p. 253) to this tonalamatl, we have: 4 × 65 = 260, the exact number of days in a tonalamatl. The tonalamatls heretofore presented have all been taken from the Dresden Codex. The following examples, however, have been selected from tonalamatls in the Codex Tro-Cortesianus. The student will note that the workmanship in the latter manuscript is far inferior to that in the Dresden Codex. This is particularly true with respect to the execution of the glyphs.
