...Michael D. Coe One of these is the famous Popol Vuh, sacred book of the Kavek lineage that ruled the Quiché Maya on the eve of the Conquest. There have been many translations from the Quiché original, into Spanish, English, French, German, and even Russian. Probably the best known...

...John W. Fox First, drawn largely from twenty patently historical sixteenth-century native chronicles, the original migration, conquests, political alliances, and subsequent demographic expansions of the Quiché are traced from a Gulf lowland homeland (Tabasco) into and throughout the Guatemalan...

...Dan E. Shea Overall, Fox’s book is a good resource volume for the professional and an excellent model for future settlement pattern analyses. One of the best parts of the book is the tantalizing, but undeveloped, implication drawn by Fox in the last paragraph of the final chapter that the Quiche...

University Press 1973 This valuable book assembles and appraises the authenticity and reliability of sources of information on the ancient Quiché Indians of highland Guatemala and adjacent lowlands, stressing the documentary sources. Carmack, an anthropologist, agrees with E. E. Evans-Prichard...

... in English translation, Breton presents both the Quiché-Achi text and its translation side by side. This format alone makes an important contribution to Mesoamerican studies and makes it possible for even nonspecialists (or beginning linguists) to appreciate the language and poetics of the Quiché-Achi script...

... Press 1983 Barbara Tedlock has produced a work that will be required reading for Mayanists and that should also be of interest to nonspecialists. In this study of Highland Maya horology, she explores the calendrical concepts of the Quiché Maya of Momostenango in relation both to pre-Hispanic ideas...

... poor roster of such cultures in Middle America. The Zotzils will now become an anchor-point in Middle American research, along with the Aztecs, the Yucatees and—the Zapotecs? the Quiche? the Otomi? the Mixtec? The work is hard to capture in 600 words. It is rich, evocative, probably the nearest...

... This book aims to define the provenance and application of three foundation myths that expressed, and in part determined, the character of Mesoamerican civilization. Florescano begins with the Popol Vuh, the sixteenth-century Quiché Maya scripture, and interprets its account of the creation of humanity...

... of the Quiché stock who live in Eastern Guatamala, near the Honduran border, is based on three visits of the author to the territory of Tunucó, Jocotán, and Olopa in the early 1930’s. After a somewhat “traditional” description of the phonological structure of Chorti, the author takes us into the basic...

...C. Harvey Gardiner The student, seen in the first and the last four chapters, concerns himself with geography, history, politics, flora, fauna, and geology. A catchall appendix ranges from a Quiche prayer to weights and measures. Dr. Wilson Popenoe might have added to his five-page Introduction...

One of the two indigeous leaders—Tecum Umam—prefers death to defeat, but the other—the Quiché king Quecab (an anachronism, sisee he reigned c. 1470)—prefers to accept Christianity. The latter’s instant...

The present volume aims not to revise or replace the information contained in the earlier work, nor does it strive for comparable scope. Instead, the eight linguistic sketches of the first volume are joined here by five more...

... the archaeological and hieroglyphic information now becoming available (p. 10). The Maya section, however, deals almost entirely with a single postconquest document, the Popol Vuh of the Guatemalan Quiche Maya, and then shows how episodes from this late narrative may have existed earlier, as illustrated on Maya...

On the other hand, apart from state violence, only in tourist brochures are the Maya a “peaceful people” (p. 11); compare, for example, Robert M.
