Mesoweb Publications POPOL VUH Sacred Book of the Quich Maya people Translation and Commentary by Allen J. Christenson 2007 POPOL Vuh: Sacred Book of the Quich Maya people . Electronic version of POPOL Vuh: The Sacred Book of the Maya (University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, 2003). Mesoweb : 2 To my wife, Janet Xa at nu saqil, at nu k'aslemal Chib'e q'ij saq ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This volume is the culmination of nearly twenty-five years of collaboration with friends and colleagues who have been more than generous with their time, expertise, encouragement, and at times, sympathy. It has become a somewhat clich d and expected thing to claim that a work would not be possible without such support. It is nonetheless true, at least from my experience, and I am indebted to all those who helped move the process along. First and foremost, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to my Maya teachers, colleagues, and friends who have selflessly devoted their time and knowledge to help carry out this project.
ago the Maya were the most literate people in the Americas, preserving their history and culture with a sophisticated hieroglyphic script in hundreds of folded screen books. The Spanish conquest in the early sixteenth century was a devastating blow to Maya literacy in Mexico and Guatemala.
