Animal Figures in the Maya Codices
Alfred M. Tozzer and Glover M. Allen
The ancient Maya drew jaguars, serpents, and birds into their painted books for reasons we are still decoding. Alfred Tozzer catalogs every animal figure in the surviving codices, matching image to species and meaning. A meticulous bridge between zoology and a lost civilization's art. Read the creatures the Maya scribes set down in color.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
