by Janice Van Cleve (Author)
This book offers many significant advantages to the student of Maya history. It gathers all of the available royal inscriptions of Copan in one place. It assigns the inscriptions to the correct kings. The drawings for each inscription have been cleaned up so the glyphs stand out clear and distinct. Each inscription has been gridded by letters and numbers for the exact location of each glyph. Every word has been translated or transliterated where possible. The author makes no pretense that these translations are the final word but at least now scholars have a single solid base from which to continue the work.
