Excerpt from Note on the Ancient Mexican Calendar System
I returned my revised manuscript to Cambridge in February, but then an unexpected delay of several monthsoccurred in the printing of proof-sheets. This delay has proved to be of utmost value to me, for it afforded me leisure to continue and extend my researches.
The results I have recently gained are of such definite interest that I am tempted to submit them to the International Congress of Americanists as my complete work is in press and is not likely to appear for several months.
In presenting these results I am somewhat. At a dis advantage. For I am not able to refer my readers to the él large and 10 small analytical tables of the Mexican Calendar System, that accompany my publication. Nor am I able to discuss the Opinions of previous writers as tho roughly as in my work.
On the other hand the results I desire to make known are solid facts that, to a great measure, explain themselves and can be readily verified.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricacies of the ancient Mexican calendar system, a complex and fascinating subject that has intrigued scholars for centuries. The author embarks on a meticulous exploration of the calendar's structure, its underlying principles, and its profound connection to the religious and social fabric of Mesoamerican society. The author challenges existing interpretations of the calendar, particularly regarding the commencement of the year and the relationship between the solar year and the ritual year of 260 days. Through a meticulous analysis of historical documents, codices, and astronomical data, the author proposes a novel understanding of the calendar's dual nature, encompassing both a civil and a religious dimension. Central to the book's argument is the concept of "concordant numeration," a fundamental principle that governs the harmonious interplay between day signs, numerals, and year symbols. The author demonstrates how this principle ensures a methodical and cyclical progression of the calendar, revealing the remarkable sophistication of ancient Mexican timekeeping. By shedding light on the intricate workings of the ancient Mexican calendar system, this book offers invaluable insights into the cosmological beliefs, societal structures, and intellectual achievements of Mesoamerican civilizations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
