(Carl Eugen) Guthe, Carl Eugen 21004323 A Possible Solution of the Number Series on Pages 51 to 58 of the Dresden Codex Produced by Julia Miller, Fred Salzer and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "A Possible Solution of the Number Series on Pages 51 to 58 of the Dresden Codex" by Carl E. Guthe is a scholarly publication written in the early 20th century that explores a specific mathematical series found in the Dresden Codex, one of the few surviving pre-Columbian Mayan manuscripts. This work focuses on the lunar calendar and its correlation with astronomical phenomena, primarily the synodical months of the moon, aiming to decode and analyze the numerical sequences recorded over several pages. The book offers a detailed analysis of a series of numbers spanning 11,960 days, broken down into various groups that reflect lunar cycles. Guthe delineates how these numbers relate to the synodical revolutions of the moon, particularly emphasizing groups that span 148, 177, and 178 days. Throughout, the author discusses discrepancies and errors within the manuscript, suggesting that many irregularities result from transcription mistakes rather than design flaws, further reinforcing the hypothesis that the series serves as an eclipse calendar intertwined with the lunar calendar. By doing so, this publication contributes significantly to the understanding of Mayan astronomy and calendrical systems, providing insights into the intricate ways the Maya engaged with natural cycles.
