Summary: "Commentary Upon the Maya-Tzental Perez Codex" by William E. Gates is an academic publication focused on the analysis of the Maya-Tzental Perez Codex, likely written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a commentary and interpretation of the codex, exploring the complexities of the ancient Maya glyphs and their broader cultural implications. Gates combines linguistics, archaeology, and a deep appreciation for Maya civilization's artistry to offer insights into the glyphs' meanings and the cultural context in which they were created. The opening of the work introduces the significance of the Perez Codex, describing its historical discovery and the researcher’s intent to provide a comprehensive analysis of its inscriptions and illustrations. Gates discusses the challenges associated with deciphering the glyphs, emphasizing his methodology of careful examination and comparison with existing research. He also highlights the artistic qualities of the codex, acknowledging the profound cultural achievements of the ancient Maya.
