(Daniel Garrison) Brinton, Daniel Garrison The Books of Chilan Balam: The Prophetic and Historic Records of the Mayas of Yucatan Produced by Julia Miller and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.) "The Books of Chilan Balam: The Prophetic and Historic Records of the Mayas of Yucatan" by Daniel G. Brinton is a scholarly historical publication originally presented in the late 19th century. This work examines a collection of Maya texts known as the "Books of Chilan Balam," which are significant artifacts of Maya literature that narrate aspects of ancient Maya civilization, including prophecy, history, medicine, and the impact of European colonization. The book chronicles how these texts, written in the aftermath of the Spanish conquest, serve as vital pieces of evidence regarding Maya culture and beliefs. Brinton explains the structure and content of the books, highlighting four main categories: astrological and prophetic texts, chronicles of ancient history, medical recipes, and Christian teachings. He emphasizes their linguistic and cultural importance, providing insights into the Maya's understanding of time, medicine, and their historical experiences. Brinton also discusses the challenges faced by these records due to the destruction of many original texts, ultimately asserting the richness and significance of the existing "Books of Chilan Balam" for understanding the Maya heritage.
