[Aztlan] Popol Vuj

[Marcelo Donadello]

Also, by 1981, Adrian Ines Chavez, native quiche speaking, has translated the Pop Vuj (Libro del Tiempo, according to his traduction) into Spanish using the original book. 

His version differs enough, in many and essential points, of others. I'm really interested in reading Sam Colop's book.
