		Charles Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg - LoveToKnow 1911

	Charles Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brasseur de Bourbourg's main interest in the document, however, was a section in which de Landa reproduced what he called "an alphabet" of the as-yet undeciphered Maya hieroglyphics or writing system of the ancient Maya civilization.
		Brasseur de Bourbourg realised that this could prove to be the key to unlocking the secrets of the Maya script, and he announced this discovery when republishing the manuscript (in bilingual Spanish-French edition) in late 1863, under the title, Relation des choses de Yucatán de Diego de Landa.
		However, upon initial analysis by Brasseur de Bourbourg and others the so-called "de Landa alphabet" proved to be problematic and inconsistent, and these immediate attempts to use this alphabet as a kind of "Rosetta Stone" to read the glyphs failed.

		De Landa was in charge of bringing the Roman Catholic faith to the Maya people after the Spanish conquest of Yucatán.
		De Landa also created a valuable record of the Mayan writing system, which despite its inaccuracies was later to prove instrumental in the later decipherment of the writing system.
		De Landa asked his informants (his primary sources were two Maya individuals descended from a ruling Maya dynasty, literate in the script) to write down the glyphic symbols corresponding to each of the letters of the (Spanish) alphabet, in the belief that there ought to be a one-to-one correspondence between them.

	URBANOWICZ ON DARWIN/September 1996
		Charles Darwin was an extremely important individual for a variety of reasons: the data he collected, the experiments he conducted, and the theories he proposed influenced a variety of disciplines, from anthropology to zoology as well as ecology, geology, and the general social sciences.
		Charles Darwin first grew a beard, as was the custom, when he was on board HMS Beagle on her circumnavigation of the globe in 1831-1836 but he shaved the beard before returning to England.
		Charles R. Darwin was conducting research and writing until the 73rd year of his life and it was during this winter of 1881-1882 that his heart began to give him problems.

	Popol Vuh Preface
		Brasseur de Bourbourg collected a number of old manuscripts in Guatemala, which he took with him to Europe and used in his writings on the history and the Indian languages of Central America.
		Father Francisco de la Parra, in the middle of the sixteenth century, invented four characters to represent certain sounds peculiar to the Indian languages of Guatemala.
		In this translation I have followed the Brasseur de Bourbourg division into four parts, and each part into chapters, because the arrangement seems logical and conforms to the meaning and subject matter of the work.

		The contrary would have been surprising, for if Abbé Brasseur, according to the author of the biographical notice devoted to him in La Grande Encyclopédie, worked with “extreme fervour,” “he often showed, in his hastily drafted works, a lack of the prudence and sagacity” that would have ensured for his writings less fragile foundations.

	Glyphs, Early Belize History
		De Landa's work was rediscovered only in the 1860's, but the prevailing view up until the 1960's was that the Maya glyphs were logographs or signs standing for whole words.
		This view was reinforced by some archaeological findings that depicted, for example, one of the 20-day months in the long calendar with the name of the bat, "and the sign for the name of the month depicts a bat" (Stuart and Houston 1989: 85).
		De Paz notes that the American archaeologist Sylvanus Morley thought the calendar was conceived at the end of the seven baktun, or the year 7.0.0.0.0.

		El juego de pelota es una forma sencilla de ver el mundo pero a la vez profunda, donde la vida es un juego (para los dioses) que ponen a prueba de alguna forma la capacidad del hombre Maya para superar las adversidades; es decir, los vaivenes de la vida como los del pueblo Quiché.
		El juego de pelota se convierte en una actividad necesaria y fundamental ya que de ello en un momento determinado dependía su supervivencia como pueblo.
