Title: Aproximación a la cosmovisión maya
First published: 1995
Description: "Introductory essay by the editor suggests a basic configuration of beliefs about nature, time, the supernatural, ritual, and values, based mostly on the Quiché of the Guatemalan highlands (as they are today and as they are reflected in the Popol Vuh, their mythic history), with some discussion of precolumbian beliefs, especially in relation to the calendar. Five essays by other scholars assess various aspects of  Guatemalan indigenous groups, especially in relation to the heavily European-derived national culture"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
