For more than 25 years the Peabody Museum has been publishing "The
Corpus of Maya Hieroglyphic Inscriptions" under the editorial and
artistic direction of Mayanist Ian Graham. The goal of this unique
series of folio volumes is to document in photographs and detailed
line drawings all known Maya inscriptions and their associated
figurative art. When complete, the "Corpus" will have published the
inscriptions from over 200 sites and 2,000 monuments. The series
has been instrumental in the remarkable success of the ongoing
process of deciphering Maya writing, making available hundreds of
texts to epigraphers working around the world.
Each volume in the series consists of three fascicles, which
examine an individual site or group of neighboring sites and
include maps of site location and plans indicating the placement
monuments within each site. Each inscription is reproduced in its
entirety in both photographs and line drawings. The text of each
volume presents descriptive information about the sites and
monuments and their associated artifacts.
This fascicle includes addenda to introductory text for the
site Tonina; appendix with sources of sculpture and their codes;
index to volumes 1 through six; and one oversized map in
pocket.
