Manuscripta Americana. The Aztec hidden manuscripts at the Berlin State Library.
<p>There is an exhibition of Aztec codices at the Berlin State Library, Unter den Linden 8. I saw the sign on a cold January day, walking from the main building of Humboldt University to my office in Friedrichstraße. Berlin-Mitte is the place where I spend my days writing a dissertation on Plato’s <em>Timaeus</em>, a dialogue that explains how the universe was beautifully created by a divine craftsman. The contrast between the Ancient Greek world and the current times is strongly present in this part of the city. Neo-classicist museums full of tourists, just a few minutes walk from the crypto investors offices, the Pergamon Museum and the residential house of Angela Merkel, white sculptures that emulate the Greek and Roman ones (although those were never white in the first place) and mannequins wearing designer clothes in the shop windows.</p>
