  • Popol Vuh: the Mayan Book of the Dawn of Life
    www.TaleBooks.com POPOL VUH: THE MAYAN BOOK OF THE DAWN OF LIFE translated by Dennis Tedlock with commentary based on the ancient knowledge of the modern Quiche Maya PREFACE Are 4u ua nuta4alibal, nupresenta chiquiuach ri nantat, comon chuchkajauib mu4hulic uleu, mu4hulic poklaj, mu4hulic bak. PREFACE You cannot erase time. -ANDRES XILOJ THE TRANSLATOR of the Popol Vuh, as if possessed by the story the Popol Vuh tells, must wander in darkness and search long for the clear light. The task is not a matter of deciphering Maya hieroglyphs, since the only surviving version of the Popol Vuh is a transcription into alphabetic writing, but the manuscript nevertheless abounds with ambiguities and obscurities. My work took me not only into dark corners of libraries but into the forests and tall cornfields and smoky houses of highland Guatemala, where the people who speak and walk and work in the pages of the Popol Vuh, the Quiche Maya, have hundreds of thousands of descendants. Among them are diviners called "daykeepers," who know how to interpret illnesses, omens, dreams, messages given by sensations internal to their own bodies, and the multiple rhythms of time. It is their business to bring what is dark into "white clarity," just as the gods of the Popol Vuh first brought the world itself to light. The Quiche people speak a Mayan language, say prayers to Mayan mountains and Mayan ancestors, and keep time according to the Mayan calendar. They are also interested citizens of the larger contemporary world, but they find themselves surrounded and attacked by those who have yet to realize they have something to teach the rest of us.

  • Popol-Vuh-The-Mayan-Book-Of
    www.TaleBooks.com INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION (See illustration: Map of the Mayan region.) THE FIRST FOUR HUMANS, the first four earthly beings who were truly articulate when they moved their feet and hands, their faces and mouths, and who could speak the very language of the gods, could also see everything under the sky and on the earth. All they had to do was look around from the spot where they were, all the way to the limits of space and the limits of time. But then the gods, who had not intended to make and model beings with the potential of becoming their own equals, limited human sight to what was obvious and nearby. Nevertheless, the lords who once ruled a kingdom from a place called Quiche, in the highlands of Guatemala, once had in their possession the means for overcoming this nearsightedness, an ilbal, a "seeing instrument" or a "place to see"; with this they could know distant or future events. The instrument was not a telescope, not a crystal for gazing, but a book. The lords of Quiche consulted their book when they sat in council, and their name for it was Popol Vuh or "Council Book." Because this book contained an account of how the forefathers of their own lordly lineages had exiled themselves from a faraway city called Tulan, they sometimes described it as "the writings about Tulan." Because a later generation of lords had obtained the book by going on a pilgrimage that took them across water on a causeway, they titled it "The Light That Came from Across the Sea." And because the book told of events that happened before

  • Amerindian Civilizations Civilizations in America: Pre-Columbian Era The
    Amerindian Civilizations Civilizations in America: Pre-Columbian Era The term ”Amerindian” is commonly used to refer to the indigenous civilizations of the Americas, generally in the Pre-Columbian era. The “Pre-Columbian era” is the period of time spanning from the settlement of the first humans in the American continent in the Upper Paleolithic (between 40,000 and 10,000 years ago) and the European conquest after Christopher Columbus’ discovery of America (1492). The Amerindian civilizations in the Pre-Columbian era include the Olmec, Toltec, Teotihuacano, Zapotec, Mixtec, Aztec, Maya, Inca, Moche, Chibcha, and Cañari peoples, among many others cultures. Current research shows evidence that the earliest humans to have inhabited the American continent, the “Paleo-Indians” (meaning “ancient” Indians) were the descendants of Asian hordes which settled initially in North America and then gradually migrated towards the south. In fact, scientific investigation links indigenous Americans to North Asian populations, specifically eastern Siberian populations, by both linguistic characteristics and DNA; however, dates and routes of this migration are still subject to continuous debate. According to traditional Western theory, the Paleo-Indian migration took place between 40,000 and 12,000 years ago, via the Beringia land bridge, a corridor of over 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) which joined Siberia and Alaska during this time. Another theory claims that using boats, humans migrated down the Pacific Northwest coast to South America. These early migrants and their descendants moved as nomadic bands throughout the American continent, developing into distinct linguistic, cultural, and territorial groups. Some of them remained as hunter-gatherers, and others formed sedentary agricultural and farming societies, which developed into civilizations with permanent or urban settlements, and hierarchical societies, and in some cases, empires.

  • I. Estudio Introductorio
    I. Estudio introductorio I. Estudio introductorio 9 Las compilaciones lexicográficas de lenguas amerindias realizadas por los misioneros de la época colonial constituyen fuentes de inestimable valor. Producidos en el con- texto del encuentro entre dos sistemas de fe, esos diccionarios permiten analizar los procesos epistemológicos de la construcción de conocimiento, las estrategias evange- lizadoras y la creación de discursos cristianos en las lenguas amerindias. Son, además, una fuente indispensable para la etnohistoria de las culturas precolombinas, así como para la comprensión de los textos indígenas de la época colonial. No obstante su importancia para los estudios de lingüística, religión/teología y antropología, muchas obras lexicográficas de la época colonial permanecen en archivos y bibliotecas inacce- sibles para los investigadores de las distintas disciplinas. La presente edición responde a la profunda aspiración de ofrecer por primera vez el acceso al diccionario colonial de la lengua maya k’iche’ conservado en el Instituto Ibero-Americano de Berlín.1 Nuestra edición presenta la transcripción fiel y anotada del manuscrito delVoca - bulario en lengua 4iche otlatecas. Prescinde de incluir un facsímil, por cuanto existe una edición electrónica de alta calidad, en color, accesible en línea, en la biblioteca digital del Instituto Ibero-Americano.2 Además de la transcripción, la edición incluye un diccionario de referencia con entradas organizadas según la ortografía moderna del k’iche’. El estudio introductorio presenta el origen y la historia del manuscrito y analiza la génesis del texto en sus relaciones intertextuales con otras fuentes lexico- gráficas. También incluye un breve comentario sobre la importancia del diccionario en tanto fuente de información sobre las misiones y la cultura autóctona de las tierras altas de Guatemala, así como un análisis del diccionario en tanto fuente lingüística.
