Résumé de l’éditeur

This volume is arranged in three sections. The first is the translation of the Quiché drama, “Zaqi Q’oxol and Cortés: The Conquest of Mexico.” Even though this play re-enacts the Spanish conquest of Mexico, the setting is in Guatemala and the Aztecs speak Quiché. The second section is a translation of the drama, “The Bull Dance.” Probably originally based on a Spanish play, it has over the years accumulated traits characteristic of Quiché drama to the point that one can now accept this as a Maya drama. The third section is a translation of a Quiché document entitled, “Calendar of the Indians of Guatemala. 1722. Kiché.” It consists of a description of the 52-year calendar round and two 260-day almanacs.
