Calendario de los indios de Guatemala.

Abstract:

Copies of three works on the calendars of the Indians of Guatemala, the first on the calendar of the Cakchikel Indians, and the other two on that of the Quiché Indians. The copies were evidently made either by or at the direction of Daniel Garrison Brinton, probably from other existing copies, and bound together. The middle work is only a partial copy, together with an English translation of the introduction, which gives general information on the history of the Indians in Santa Catarina Ixtahuacán, and their religion.
