Reviews

The Chilam Balam books of Yucatan rank with the Popol Vuh as major works of Maya literature, and the most important book about them is this one. Timothy Knowlton's interpretation is the most insightful, sophisticated, and nuanced that has ever been written. Dennis Tedlock, State University of New York at Buffalo


[A] welcome addition to the growing literature on Mayan culture, myths, and language... This book is highly recommended for students and scholars interested in Mayan mythic traditions, religion, cosmology, folklore, anthropology, and history. --Colonial Latin American Historical Review
