"A Primer of Mayan Hieroglyphics" by Daniel G. Brinton is an instructional text written in the late 19th century. This work serves as an essential guide for those interested in learning the intricacies of the Mayan hieroglyphic writing system, providing insights into both its historical context and structural components. Brinton aims to equip readers with the foundational tools necessary for the study of this ancient script, which remains a vital part of aboriginal American civilization. The opening of this treatise introduces the audience to the complex world of Mayan hieroglyphics, describing the significance of recent archaeological explorations in Central America that have prompted scholarly inquiry into these inscriptions. Brinton emphasizes the variances in the hieroglyphs found across different regions inhabited by the Mayans, while outlining the nature of the written forms they employed. He notes that key gains in deciphering these scripts are scattered across various works, setting the stage for his compilation of knowledge meant to foster understanding among learners. With clear references to previous studies and theories of interpretation, he establishes a framework that aims to clarify how these glyphs function as a system of communication, which is foundational for the reader's further exploration of the subject.
