From Codex to Calendar

The Prompt

Place Patolli in its setting. Identify at least three primary or ethnohistorical sources — the Florentine Codex, the Codex Magliabechiano, Durán's Book of the Gods and Rites, or another colonial-era witness — and explain what each reveals about the game's mechanics, its cosmological embedding in the fifty-two-year calendar round, and its social stakes.

Completion Criteria

Three citations (each from a distinct source), a short essay of three or four paragraphs, and a closing note on Patolli's relationship to the Mesoamerican ballgame.
