Each main entry is followed by a reference to the hieroglyphic text in which the example can be found, while seven color figures illustrate a selection of these entries.Ĭlassic period Maya rulers are often reduced to “ideal types” and are discussed in terms that would suggest they were a homogenous group of individuals cut from the same cloth. The entries in the original and in this updated preliminary vocabulary have been elicited from hoeroglyphic texts (either carved, incised, or painted) on stone and wooden monuments (stelae, lintels, altars, etc.), on portable objects of stone, wood, bone, and shell, in murals, on cave walls, on ceramics, and in three of the four surviving screenfold books. The updated English-Classic Maya vocabulary contains over 530 entries. The updated version of this preliminary vocabulary of hieroglyphic readings (still a precursor to a fully illustrated vocabulary) contains some 1,275 main entries, each defined with a minimum of one transcribed glyph example (in total there are over 2,500 transcription examples). During the period of June 2007-March 2009, the original vocabulary of 2002 was checked, revised, reduced, enlarged, and is now annotated in close to 300 cases.
This is the updated preliminary Classic Maya-English, English-Classic Maya vocabulary.
