In a way very refreshening read, but it wore out after the first two parts. (  ) Lady_Lazarus | Sep 18, 2009 |  Despite what other reviewers have said, I would like to point out that this is the Christenson translation, not Tedlock (though it is based on his work). That being said, this is my preferred translation; it's clear and avoids too much translatorese. It's well annotated and generally well researched. (  ) imnotsatan | May 17, 2008 | this is the real thing, authentic pre-columbian mayan mythology. of course you already know that if you're reading this. if you don't know that already, get the book in any translation and check it out. ( ) simonmagus | Oct 20, 2006 | More than a mere translation, Tedlock also provides a full introduction and commentaries on the text, which was originally writtenin Mayan hieroglyphs and transcribed into the Spanish alphabet in the 16th-century. Heavily annotated. 1  lilithcat | Oct 18, 2005 |  no reviews | add a review
