Description
Author: Thomas, Cyrus (1825-1910)
Publisher: Smithsonian Institution
Pub Date: 1900
Binding: Paperback
Condition: Fair. Binding tight. No marks, tears, bends or folds. This report was excised from the Nineteenth Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, 1897-1898, Part 2. The hardcover volume was in bad straits so I salvaged this item and had it rebound in paperback. Includes 3 gatefolds of inscriptions.
Notes: “The present paper will be limited to an examination of the time and numeral symbols, time counts and time systems of the Mayan tribes, as indicated by the codices and inscriptions…The discussion will be based on a personal examination of the Dresden codex and the inscriptions….” (From the Prefatory Notes, p. 700) (Volume II is also available, see https://joethebookguy.com/shop/archaeology/mayan-calendar-systems-ii/ )
