At the top of each page is a number, and down the left of each page is what appears to be a list of dates. The pages are much less detailed than in the other codices, and hardly provide any information that is not already in the Dresden Codex. Although its authenticity was initially disputed, various tests conducted in the early 21st century supported its authenticity and Mexico's [[Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia|National Institute of Anthropology and History]] judged it to be an authentic Pre-Columbian codex in 2018.<ref name="Smithsonian 2016" /><ref name=INAH>{{cite press release|last=Boletín N° 299|year=2018|title=INAH ratifica al Códice Maya de México, antes llamado Grolier, como el manuscrito auténtico más antiguo de América|url=http://www.inah.gob.mx/attachments/article/7497/Boleti%CC%81n%20299.pdf|publisher=INAH|location=Mexico|access-date=2018-09-22|language=es}}</ref> It has been dated to between 1021 and 1154 CE.<ref name="Bonello">{{cite news |last1=Bonello |first1=Deborah |title=Mexican historians prove authenticity of looted ancient Mayan text |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/08/31/mexican-historians-prove-authenticity-looted-ancient-mayan-text/ |access-date=8 February 2019 |work=The Telegraph |date=31 August 2018}}</ref>
