Authentic Representation
The Popol Vu is by far the most important portal into pre-contact Maya beliefs available today. Written by Maya scribes in Latin characters, it related several mythical sagas that dated back hundreds of years. Of the various translations from the Mayan language, Dennis Tedlock's is arguably the most authentic. Besides academic studies, he pursued training with a native elder and specialist in Maya traditional culture to attain the rank of Day Keeper and engaged the same specialist, Andrés Xiloj Peruch, in ferreting out the meanings of language written in Sixteenth-Century Mayan. The text is evocative and captivating, as one would expect from an author like Tedlock, who is Professor of both English and Anthropology Research at New York State University.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
