This authoritative work is the first visual dictionary of Maya glyphs published since the script's complete decipherment, offering a much-needed, comprehensive catalog of 1,100 secured glyphs. Each entry includes the illustrated glyph, its phonetic transcription, pronunciation, part of speech, and meaning. Entries occur in alphabetical order of their phonetic transcription, and will therefore remain valid for decades to come. A wide range of signs, including unusual variants, a sampling of glyph spellings, a guide to pronunciation and extensive definitions are included. Multiple indices cross-reference the glyphs by their English translation, subject, visual components, T-numbers, and other criteria. Each glyph is superbly illustrated by the author. Offering a convenient reference to the visual symbols of ancient Maya civilization and its writing system, this serves as an indispensable tool for beginners who are learning the basics of the script as well as an invaluable resource for scholars.
