Description:The Xajil Chronicle of the Kaqchikel Maya of Guatemala is topically the most diverse, lengthy, and organizationally complex of the surviving highland-Maya historical texts that were first recorded alphabetically in the colonial period. In this monograph, the author demonstrates that much of the Chronicle was redacted from preconquest pictographic documents, documents that new are lost. Both the organization and topical coverage allow the author to identify the specific genres of the pictographic originals and characterize the content of preconquest historical "archives" as well as gauge the amount of information contained in such documents, which would necessarily have been committed to memory by indigenous historians.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
