Merideth Paxton
"In this clearly written and beautifully presented book, Paxton
supports her calendrical and astronomical arguments in five
rewarding appendixes--Appendix D being an invaluable explanation of
sixteenth-century Spanish astronomy and its origins."
"The author covers a wide range of subjects, including art,
archaeology, astronomy, colonial and modern ethnography, and
sixteenth century Spanish beliefs. This is a detailed study that is
likely to be of interest to specialists and students of
Mesoamerican studies."
"Paxton has written a well-referenced book for Mesoamerican
specialists that reinterprets parts of the Madrid Codex,
manuscripts dated before the Hispanic conquest of large areas of
Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize. . . . With many illustrations, maps,
and tables, this well-indexed book will be appreciated by scholars
of Mayan calendar, religion, and mythology studies."
