Wesselhoeft, Selma 05005106 Representation of Deities of the Maya Manuscripts Papers of the Peabody Museum of American Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, Vol. 4, No. 1 E-text prepared by Julia Miller and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Representation of Deities of the Maya Manuscripts" by Paul Schellhas is a scholarly work that serves as an in-depth analysis of the representations of gods found in ancient Maya manuscripts. Written in the early 20th century, specifically in the early 1900s, this publication is part of a scientific contribution aimed at the study of Maya hieroglyphs and mythology. The book meticulously covers the iconography and significance of various deities in a rich, yet concise manner, emphasizing the importance of these representations within the larger context of Maya culture and religion. In the text, Schellhas explores a range of deities illustrated in three crucial Maya manuscripts: the Dresden, the Madrid, and the Paris codices. Each deity's description is grounded in careful observation of the illustrative details and hieroglyphs associated with them. The author categorizes gods such as the Death-God, the God with the Large Nose, and the Maize-God, among others, discussing their attributes, symbols, and roles in Maya mythology and rituals. Through a detailed enumeration of references and a summary of their visual representations, Schellhas establishes a foundational understanding of the Maya pantheon and how these gods reflect the civilization's beliefs regarding life, death, and natural phenomena. The book remains a significant resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Mesoamerican studies.
