Codices
Codices are traditional Mesoamerican books. The Aztecs would paint beautiful constellations of pictorial glyphs on sheets of amatl paper. Instead of rolling up the paper like a European-type scroll, they would be folded accordion-style. These books were created by priests and scribes who were skilled in the arts, and they preserved a great body of learning in their pages. Unfortunately, only a handful of books survived the destruction of the Conquest, and their translation is still a work in progress. FAMSI has commentary (none in English, sadly) on many of these books, which you can reach from the main index for Aztec codices at FAMSI below. Codices hosted by other sites may have commentary, which will be noted below as appropriate.

Hi Eric,
I’d check http://www.amazon.com and http://www.abebooks.com. ABEbooks is particularly good for hunting down out of print materials. I know I’ve seen Seler’s Spanish-language commentary for the Codex Borgia on Amazon before, usually priced in the $30 to $50 range. Please be advised that there may not be Spanish editions for all his commentaries, his native language was German, but I do know at least some of his work made it into Spanish.
Thanks,
Cehualli
