Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographic reproduction of the Maya-Spanish and Spanish-Maya dictionaries known as the Diccionario de Motul, compiled during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The Maya-Spanish dictionary (v. 3-6, 930 p.) has been identified as the "Calepino" compiled by Father Antonio de Ciudad Real between 1580 and 1617, in part while he resided at the Franciscan convent in Motul. His work includes 15,975 words from "aal" to "xuxek," with words beginning with Parra letters following the "B" section.

Book Synopsis A Dictionary of Ch'orti' Mayan-Spanish-English by : Kerry M. Hull
Download or read book A Dictionary of Ch'orti' Mayan-Spanish-English written by Kerry M. Hull and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of extant languages, Ch'orti' Mayan is the closest to ancient the Maya hieroglyphic script, but it is a language that is decreasing in usage. In southern Guatemala where it is spoken, many children no longer learn it, as Spanish dominates most experiences. From linguistic and anthropological data gathered over many years, Kerry Hull has created the largest and most complete Ch'orti' Mayan dictionary to date. With nearly 9,000 entries, this trilingual dictionary of Ch'orti', Spanish, and English preserves ancient words and concepts that were vital to this culture in the past. Each entry contains examples of Ch'orti' sentences along with their translations. Each term is defined grammatically and linked to a grammatical index. Variations due to age and region are noted. Additionally, extensive cultural and linguistic annotations accompany many entries, providing detailed looks into Ch'orti' daily life, mythology, flora and fauna, healing, ritual, and food. Hull worked closely with native speakers, including traditional ritual specialists, and presents that work here in a way that is easily accessible to scholars and laypersons alike.

Book Synopsis Lost Shores, Forgotten Peoples by : Lawrence H. Feldman
Download or read book Lost Shores, Forgotten Peoples written by Lawrence H. Feldman and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long after the Aztecs and the Incas had become a fading memory, a Maya civilization still thrived in the interior of Central America. Lost Shores, Forgotten Peoples is the first collection and translation of important seventeenth-century narratives about Europeans travelling across the great "Ocean Sea" and encountering a people who had maintained an independent existence in the lowlands of Guatemala and Belize. In these narratives--primary documents written by missionaries and conquistadors--vivid details of these little known Mayan cultures are revealed, answering how and why lowlanders were able to evade Spanish conquest while similar civilizations could not. Fascinating tales of the journey from Europe are included, involving unknown islands, lost pilots, life aboard a galleon fleet, political intrigue, cannibals, and breathtaking natural beauty. In short, these forgotten manuscripts--translations of the papers of the past--provide an unforgettable look at an understudied chapter in the age of exploration. Lost Shores, Forgotten Peoples will appeal to archaeologists, anthropologists, and historians interested in Central America, the Maya, and the Spanish Conquest.

Book excerpt: Encyclopedia of the Ancient Maya offers an A-to-Z overview of the ancient Maya culture from its inception around 3000 BC to the Spanish Conquest after AD 1600. Over two hundred entries written by more than sixty researchers explore subjects ranging from food, clothing, and shelter to the sophisticated calendar and now-deciphered Maya writing system. They bring special attention to environmental concerns and climate variation; fresh understandings of shifting power dynamics and dynasties; and the revelations from emerging field techniques (such as LiDAR remote sensing) and newly explored sites (such as La Corona, Tamchen, and Yaxnohkah). This one-volume reference is an essential companion for students studying ancient civilizations, as well as a perfect resource for those planning to visit the Maya area. Cross-referencing, topical and alphabetical lists of entries, and a comprehensive index help readers find relevant details. Suggestions for further reading conclude each entry, while sidebars profile historical figures who have shaped Maya research. Maps highlight terrain, archaeological sites, language distribution, and more; over fifty photographs complement the volume.

Book Synopsis A Dictionary of Poqom Maya in the Colonial Era by : Lawrence H. Feldman
Download or read book A Dictionary of Poqom Maya in the Colonial Era written by Lawrence H. Feldman and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feldman spent two years transcribing the five separate vocabularies of a corpus called the Viana dictionary of the Poqom Maya from photocopies and copy flows. The core of the dictionary that translates the Maya into Spanish was written by Dominican friar Francisco Viana (1528-1608), who arrived in Guatemala in 1556. Feldman has re-alphabetized the text, removed duplications and fragments that are too incomplete to have any meaning, and added material from other sources when useful. Only the introduction is in English. COPYRIGHT 2005 Book News, Inc.

Book Synopsis Gods and Symbols of Ancient Mexico and the Maya by : Mary Ellen Miller
Download or read book Gods and Symbols of Ancient Mexico and the Maya written by Mary Ellen Miller and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 1997-04-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The myths and beliefs of the great pre-Columbian civilizations of Mesoamerica have baffled and fascinated outsiders ever since the Spanish Conquest. Yet, until now, no single-volume introduction has existed to act as a guide to this labyrinthine symbolic world. The Gods and Symbols of Ancient Mexico and the Maya is the first-ever English-language dictionary of Mesoamerican mythology and religion. Nearly 300 entries, from accession to yoke, describe the main gods and symbols of the Olmecs, Zapotecs, Maya, Teotihuacanos, Mixtecs, Toltecs, and Aztecs. Topics range from jaguar and jester gods to reptile eye and rubber, from creation accounts and sacred places to ritual practices such as bloodletting, confession, dance, and pilgrimage. In addition, two introductory essays provide succinct accounts of Mesoamerican history and religion, while a substantial bibliographical survey directs the reader to original sources and recent discussions. Dictionary entries are illustrated with photographs and specially commissioned line drawings. Mary Miller and Karl Taube draw on their research in the fast-changing field of Maya studies, and on the latest Mexican discoveries, to produce an authoritative work that will serve as a standard reference for students, scholars, and travelers.
