Based on previous data indicating that the codex belonged to the family of the Counts of Cancelada, we hypothetized that the document initial destination was the Royal Cabinet of Natural History of the Mines and Royal House of Geography at Madrid. Both, the situation of this institution and the viceroy Revillagigedo’s family circustamces, would explain the route that the codex took until it reached the 6th Countess of Cancelada, who handed it over to Juan de Tro and José Ignacio Miró who, in turn, sold it to the National Archaeological Museum in 1872 and 1888.
