The Popol Vuh by Lewis Spence
Transcribed from the original Mayan hieroglyphs, the Popol Vuh relates the mythology and history of the Kiché people of Central America. As is often the case with ancient texts, the Popol Vuh's significance lies in the scarcity of early accounts of Mesoamerican cultures, largely due to the purging of documents by the Spanish conquistadors. Today there remains no document of greater importance to the study of pre-Columbian mythology.Lewis Spence (1874-1955) was a Scottish historian best known for his five Atlantis novels and volumes on world mythology. His best-known work is The History of Atlantis (1926).
