The ancient future of the Itza : the book of Chilam Balam of Tizimin
Munro S. Edmonson (Translator, Editor)
The literal but poetic translation of the "Book of Chilam Balam de Tizimin", one of fourteen known manuscripts in Yucatecan Maya on ritual and history, presents the hisport of Yucatan from the seenth century to the nineteenth. And this is history in the Mayan manner: the "Tizimin" reflects a world view dominated by cyclical repetition and a profound faith in the calendrical calculations of the priests
