Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A compact and portable guide to reading and understanding classic Maya texts. 2 colour illus.

Book News Annotation:

Coe (anthropology, Yale U.), a curator emeritus at the Peabody Museum of Natural History, teams up with Stone, a type designer, stone carver, art historian, and interpreter of Maya calligraphic art, to explain how to translate the Maya texts, whether inscribed on stone or written in books. They write for travelers to Maya ruins and beginning and intermediate students, assuming no previous knowledge of the Maya or their script. Chapter-end exercises facilitate classroom or systematic learning.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
