Bandelier, Adolph Francis Alphonse

Central America -- Bibliography; Mayas -- Antiquities; Yucatán (Mexico : State) -- Bibliography

In the above list I have not included any Grammar, Vocabulary,
Sermonary, "Doctrina," &c., &c., for the use of the Indians of
Yucatan, or written in the Maya language, of which several are known.
In conclusion, I beg to add the Maya writing, entitled:

"SERIES OF KATUNES," published, with an English translation, by Mr. J.
L. Stephens, in "Incidents of travels in Yucatan," and by Brasseur de
Bourbourg, in "Rel. d. ch. de Y."


_Writers of the Seventeenth Century._

ANTONIO DE HERRERA. "Historia general de los hechos de los Castellanos
en las Islas y la Tierra firme del mar Océano," Madrid, 1601, 1615, 4
vols. folio. There are two other editions in the original language:
Madrid, 1726 and 1730, and Antwerp, 1728.

Of this most important book, several translations have appeared,
embodying either the whole or only a part.--Thus a French translation
of the "Descripcion de las Indias Occidentales," appeared at Amsterdam
in 1622 twice, and a French translation of the 1st, 2d and 3d Decades,
at Paris, 1671.--A Latin version of the "Descripcion" was also
published in 1622, by Colin, at Amsterdam, and a very unreliable
English rendering by John Stephens, in 6 vols. 8^o, appeared at London
in 1725. Herrera is one of the most important authorities on every
subject of which he treats.


GREGORIO GARCIA. "Orígen de los Indios del Nuevo Mundo é Indias
Occidentales." 1st Edition, 1606; Second Edition, Madrid, 1729, by
Barcia.--A very important and valuable work.


JUAN DE TORQUEMADA. "Los veinte y uno Libros Rituales y monarchia
Indiana, con el orígen y guerras de los Indios occidentales." 1st
Edition, Madrid, 1613; 2d Edition, Madrid, 1723. Barcia.


AUGUSTIN DE VETANCOURT. "Teatro Mexicano." México, 1698.--2d Edition,
in "Biblioteca de la Iberia," México, 1870.--Treats of Yucatan
incidentally, speaking of Cortés, &c.

The work consists properly of three books: the "Teatro," the "Crónica
de la provincia del Santo Evangelio de México," and the "Menologio
franciscano."


ANTONIO DE REMESAL. "Historia general de las Indias Occidentales, y
particular de la gobernacion de Chiapas y Guatemala."--This book has
also another title: "Historia de la Provincia de San Vicente de Chyapa
y Guatemala de la Orden de San Domingo."--Madrid, 1619 and
1620.--Treats of Yucatan also, following Las Casas generally. An
important work.
