About this book
The sacred book of the Kiché people of Guatemala gets a study from Lewis Spence, who wrote widely on mythology. The Popol Vuh, whose name means Record of the Community, was, according to Spence, written by a Christianised native of Guatemala in the seventeenth century, copied in the Kiché language by the monk Francisco Ximenes, and traced by the Austrian scholar Scherzer to the university at Guatemala City. Spence's preface calls it the richest source of mythology in the New World, and numbered notes at the end back his account of its mythic and heroic sagas.
