Understanding Maya Inscriptions: A Hieroglyph Handbook, Second Edition

John F. Harris, Stephen K. Stearns, "Understanding Maya Inscriptions: A Hieroglyph Handbook, Second Edition"
English | 1997 | ISBN: 0924171413 | 260 pages | PDF | 17.9 MB

This second edition includes revised and updated versions of three earlier publications: Understanding Maya Inscriptions: A Hieroglyph Handbook; New and Recent Maya Hieroglyph Readings; and A Resource Bibliography for the Decipherment of Maya Hieroglyphs and New Maya Hieroglyph Readings.

This volume is designed to function as a self-teaching tool to help the neophyte, and yet be of value to scholars. It introduces the latest methods of analysis, illustrates techniques for computing Maya calendrics, uses the currently accepted orthography, provides syllabary and syntax, suggests new glyph readings, and presents various interpretations.
