Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Popol Vuh: The Mythic and Heroic Sagas of the Kiches of Central America
Scherzer at once made a copy of the Spanish translation of the manuscript, which he published at Viennain 1856 under the title of Las Historias del origen do laa ladies do Guatemala, par cl R. P. Francisco Kimonos. The Abbe llrasseur also took a copy of the original, whieh he published at Paris in 1861, with the title Vah l'opol: Le Livre Sacre de Quiches, et lcs Mythes do l'anti quite Americaine. In this work the Kiche original and the Abhe's French translation are set forth side by side. Unfortunately both the Spanish and the French translations leave much to be desired so far as their accuracy is concerned.
