About this book
Each of the twenty day names in the Maya calendar gets its own section in this paper by Cyrus Thomas, taken from the Sixteenth Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, published in 1897. Thomas asks where the names and their written symbols come from and what they mean, with plates of glyphs copied from the codices and from a shell. He holds that the signs are partly phonetic and syllabic, not alphabetic, though some are pictorial or ideographic. An appendix lists the deities of the days in the Maori calendar.
