A Grammar of the Yucatecan Mayan Language
by David & Alejandra Bolles

Sources Cited

The following bibliography contains more than just the books referenced in this work. On the other hand it is much less than a complete listing of material available to the reader interested in particular and specialized works on the Yucatecan Mayan language. The books listed here are on the whole either those which deal with modern folk material or those which have been of great help to the co-author (DDB) in working on the Yucatecan Mayan colonial literature generally and in particular in preparing the book "Post Conquest Mayan Literature".

The reader interested in colonial material should consult the very extensive and detailed listing of those works given in Tozzer's "A Maya Grammar". Also of some help may be the introduction to the co-author's (DDB) book "Post Conquest Mayan Literature" in which the full table of contents along with other pertinent information is given for the various extant "Books of Chilam Balam" and other sources for the material given in that book.
