Reviews

Christensen's translation as well as his black and white images of the entire manuscript will be invaluable to scholars working on Maya documents. Future authors should take note of Christensen's diligent efforts to bring this manuscript to light. * Journal of the American Academy of Religion * From the structure of the book to the analytical execution, Christensen has done an excellent job of allowing the Teabo Manuscript to speak for itself and tell the story recorded within it. * Reading Religion *
