IV, no. 3 Produced by Julia Miller and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Animal Figures in the Maya Codices" by Alfred M. Tozzer and Glover M. Allen is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the interpretation and analysis of animal figures frequently found in ancient Maya codices, aiming to identify the various species depicted and their significance within the context of Maya culture and writing systems. This study highlights the connection between these animal representations and the religious and calendrical practices of the Maya people. The opening of this publication sets the stage for a thorough examination of animal symbolism within the surviving codices from the Maya civilization. It begins with a note indicating the intentions behind the research, which was initiated by the Peabody Museum Committee on Central American Research. The authors discuss the Maya's use of animal depictions in their codices, drawn with either realistic or stylized elements, and the influence of these figures on their mythology, astronomy, and ceremonial practices. The introduction outlines the rarity and significance of the three known Maya codices—Dresden, Tro-Cortesianus, and Peresianus—and prepares the reader for an in-depth discussion on the various ways animals are represented, their cultural importance, and the methods used for their identification.
