The Maya Chronicles (annotated Edition) (the Sacred Books) - Daniel G. Brinton

The Chronicles of the Mayas contains five brief chronicles in the Maya language of Yucatan, written shortly after the conquest, and carrying the history of that people back many centuries; four have never been published, nor even translated into any European
tongue. Each is given in the original, with a literal translation and grammatical and historical notes. To these is added a history of
the conquest, written in his native tongue by a Maya chief, in 1562. This also is from an unpublished MS. The texts are preceded by an introduction on the history of the Mayas, their language, calendar, numeral system, etc.

This book is not a cheap scanned version of the original but has been completely digitally revised and optimized for Kindle, including an interactive table-of-contents.
