Representation of Deities of the Maya Manuscript

by Paul Schellhas

The three manuscripts which we possess of the ancient Maya peoples of Central America, the Dresden (Dr.), the Madrid (Tro.-Cort.) and the Paris (Per.) manuscripts, all contain a series of pictorial representations of human figures, which, beyond question, should be regarded as figures of gods. Together with these are a number of animal figures, some with human bodies, dress and armor, which likewise have a mythologic significance

Old, but okay.

This book shows images of the symbols for many of the Mayan gods and explains who they are. It gives a good basic primer on the interpretation of the symbols.
