[Aztlan] More on Bolon Yokte'

[Christian M. Prager]

Hi all,

A thorough study of this supernatural agent has been supplied by Markus Eberl and myself in 2005. Please find attached the reference at the end of this email. A new piece of evidence regarding his name comes from EKB where Alfonso Lacadena has published a fragmentary piece that contains his name glyph in a full phonetic rendering: IX yo-ko-te-e K'UH, or Bolon? Yokte' K'uh (published in the latest number of the Campeche symposia on Maya archaeology). Hope this is useful information for you. Please notice that I don't have a PDF file of this article availabe, but you should find the book in a university library.

Best wishes from Bonn

Christian Prager
