This work makes accessible rare, collected linguistic data from the
late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth centuries. The study presents the
earliest reliable records of a number of Mayan languages, as opposed to
previous materials written primarily by colonial sources.
Reviews
“Truly, with this publication an early Maya linguistic star is brought to
light!” – Prof. Robert M. Carmack, State University of New York at
Albany
“. . . these notebooks are a monument to an intellect rarely matched, to an
inquiring mind of an unusual sort, to a person who was able to operate
essentially autonomously in a field work context that was hardly conducive
to intellectual pursuits.” – Dr. Nicholas A. Hopkins
“. . . for several of these languages, although published materials exist
from the end of the twentieth century, there is little or no data available
on them from Burkitt’s time.” – Prof. Martha J. Macri, University of
California, Davis
