Book Reviews of Dictionary of Maya Hieroglyphs
Book Review: Simply great to understand the maya writings
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a very well done book. I'm a writer too, and was extremely useful in understanding the actual translate options.
The mayans were a vast empire before the conquest and this book help to really understand their art.
It was sent to me very soon also.
Summary of Dictionary of Maya Hieroglyphs
This authoritative work is the first visual dictionary of Maya glyphs published since the script's complete deciphering, offering a much-needed, comprehensive catalogue of 1100 secured glyphs. Each entry includes the illustrated glyph, its phonetic transcription, Mayan equivalent, part of speech, and meaning. About the Author John Montgomery is an illustrator, epigrapher, writer, and PhD candidate in the field of Pre-Columbian Art at the University of New Mexico. He also teaches art history at the South-western Indian Polytechnic Institute in Albuquerque. A long and varied experience in Central America first inspired his interest in the ancient Maya. His glyphic illustrations based on a lifetime of involvement with Maya glyph decipherment. He lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.Art History Books
