The Book of Counsel

The Popol Vuh of the Quiche Maya of Guatemala

by Munro S. Edmonson

A translation that sets out the Popol Vuh in parallel couplets, with the K'iche' text, to reflect its poetic form. Published by Tulane University's Middle American Research Institute, it marked a new attention to the work as oral poetry.
