[Aztlan] Texas Glyph Weekend Workbooks?

[Peter Keeler]

    Dear Helen and Listeros -

       Apparently the "Texas Glyph Weekend books" (Notebooks for the Forum 
on Maya Hieroglyphic Writing) are not currently available from the 
University of Texas

        but they ARE still available from the Maya Workshop Foundation,

which has historically provided these and other scholarly materials 
associated with the Maya Meetings at Texas (eg, transcripts, Mixtec 
Workshop Notebooks, posters), during the years the Foundation was the 
sponsor of the Meetings, up to and including 2004.

  We cannot provide the volumes for later years ('05, '06), now titled 
"Sourcebook" rather than Notebook (or the incorrect "Workbook"  which has 
found its way into the literature.)  Earlier titles refer to the "Workshop" 
on Maya Hieroglyphic - beginning in 1996, the name of the weekend event was 
changed from workshop to Forum.

Anyone interested can contact me at this address 
(p.keeler at mail.utexas.edu), and I will be happy to discuss via email or 
phone the content of individual volumes -  since they vary greatly in 
content, format, etc.

        The material presented in these books has always been  "cutting 
edge", and in many cases continues to be the only source of the information 
presented - eg the 2003 Forum on "Chichen Itza and Its Neighbors", with its 
extensive presentation of texts from Ek Balam, or the 2002 volume on 
"Palenque and Its Neighbors" with its information on Comalcalco and Tonina. 
The same holds true for Mixtec Workshops, held during the Long Workshop of 
the Maya Meetings, loaded with information hard or impossilbe to come by 
elsewhere.

         Contact me - or just order directly from the same address many of 
you have used for many years:

          Maya Workshop Foundation
          PO Box 3500
          Austin, Texas 78764-3500

        Below are details of materials available. Prices given include all 
shipping and handling within the USA. Payment in advance, by US check or 
postal money order.

             ss,

NOTEBOOKS ON MAYA HIEROGLYPHIC WRITING
Beginning with the IInd Maya Workshop in 1978, Dr. Linda Schele and, after 
1993, her co-presenters, and guest presenters, have prepared a Notebook for 
each Workshop. After 1998, Scheles successors have continued the 
tradition. In 1996, the name was changed from Workshop to Forum.These 
Notebooks not only serve the Workshops, but are also the only published 
materials documenting year by year the advance of the field of Maya 
hieroglyphic decipherment. All Notebooks are spiral bound with heavy paper 
covers. Each is divided into two major sections: an introduction to Maya 
glyphs and an analysis of glyphic texts. The former section is up-dated 
periodically to incorporate new discoveries and interpretations. Through 
the 1988 Workshop, the glyph texts used in the analysis sections were 
Classic period texts from Palenque, the Maya site at which the longest 
inscriptions occur. These texts were divided into three groups, one of 
which was analyzed each year; with relevant updating. Beginning in 1989, 
Workshops focused on other sites and topics, as elaborated below. The 
earliest Notebooks are largely of historical interest, the information in 
them having been superceded by that in later Notebooks, but those still in 
print are listed here for the convenience of individuals and libraries 
desiring to obtain as complete a set of Notebooks as possible.

THE INSCRIPTIONS OF PALENQUE
Fifteen years is a long time in the fast-moving world of Maya Hieroglyphic 
decipherment. Gradually, the original translations offered in the PALENQUE 
TRIAD have gotten out of date. And much more has been learned. Using the 
original format,  an updated and corrected second edition is 
now  available:  together in one volume: the hieroglyphic inscriptions and 
glyph-by-glyph translations and commentary that appear in the Notebooks of 
the 1986, 1987, and 1988 Workshops on Maya Hieroglyphic Writing, updated 
for 1999. Not included are the introductory sections of these 
Notebooks.  The PALENQUE  TRIAD provides a convenient reference to the 
major inscriptions at Palenque, including  the Palace Tablet, the Tablet of 
The Slaves, the Tablet of the 96 Glyphs, the Temple of the Inscriptions 
panels, and the texts from the Temples of  the Cross, Sun, and Foliated 
Cross. Not included are the recently discovered texts from Temples XIX and 
XXI. The volume comes spiral-bound with cardstock covers. $45, postpaid.

PIEDRAS NEGRAS DRAWINGS
   The Maya city of Piedras Negras, with its exquisite lintels, altars, and 
stelae, has long been a source of fascination for artist-epigrapher John 
Montgomery.
   For years, with skilled hands and painstaking dedication, John labored 
to produce a complete record of the monuments of that beautiful city on the 
shores of the Usumacinta River. Based on personal observation, augmented by 
descriptions, drawings, and photos of both early and recent visitors to the 
site, some 140 drawings have been completed to date.
   Many of these accurate, highly-regarded drawings have circulated 
privately for use in classes and research workshops at the University of 
Texas, the Maya Meetings at Texas, the Penn Maya Weekend, and elsewhere, 
allowing John to benefit from comments and suggestions from art-historians 
and epigraphers in his production of the final versions.
    Over 140 drawings, together with useful tables, king-lists, and other 
data-compilations and analyses generated in recent workshops. Spiral bound, 
with cardstock covers. $45, postpaid.

MIXTEC NOTEBOOKS.The Mixtec Pictographic Writing Workshop Notebooks bring 
together information from widely scattered, difficult to locate sources, as

Workshop will be available at and after the Workshop. The Notebooks are

with contributions by Robert Williams, and others.  Dr. Pohl is a Mixtec

contain some introductory material with updates and changes, and a body of

       POSTER:
                 THE TABLET OF THE 96 'GLYPHS.
The text of the Tablet of the 96 Glyphs preserves the calligraphic beauty 
of glyphs written with a brush, and indeed it may have been carved by the 
same master that painted its hieroglyphic text. All its fine qualities of 
detail and shading have been admirably captured in Linda Schele's drawing 
of its glyph text, and are faithfully reproduced in a dramatic poster. 
Individual glyphs are
roughly one inch by one and one-half inches in size; the entire text 
measures over 12 inches by 28 inches. The poster is 35 inches wide and 23 
inches high, printed in black ink on heavyweight white semi-gloss poster 
stock. Truly a masterpiece of Classic Maya calligraphic art, this beautiful 
poster is available for just $25, postage and handling included. The poster 
comes with a brochure containing a glyph-by-glyph translation of the entire 
text.
