> 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.
