[Aztlan] Chilam Balam Edition Recomendations

[Nick Hopkins]

One of the classic treatments of the Chumayel that should be readily available is Ralph Roys, The Book of Chilam Balam of Chumayel. University of Oklahoma Press, 1967.  (Original price $6.95, but I would guess you'd have to pay more than that these days!)
For the other books, one source few people use – but it is very informative – is Alfredo Barrera Vasquez' line-by-line comparison of several Chilam Balams, with the idea of correcting scribal errors and pointing out sections that occur in more than one book, or in only one.  (Like a comparison of the four gospels.)  I don't have my Xerox copy at hand, but I think it was in a Carnegie Institution publication.  Maybe someone has the reference.
