Time goes fast, especially when a lot of preparations need to be done. For the workshop "The Inscriptions of Northern Yucatan" at the 14th EMC in Cracow, Poland (November 9-14, 2009), I have prepared a preliminary syllabary of the Chichen Itza inscriptions. A PDF of this syllabary has been posted online at Mesoweb in the section "Chichen Iza Resources." A direct download can be found here. The syllabary has been extended with a couple of additional examples and I hope to have the updated version online next month.
Starting January 2010 I will have a bit more time to direct to posting on this blog.

The updated vocabulary (April 2009, version 2009.1) has been posted at Mesoweb (one can find the link at the top of the right hand side menu or by clicking here). At present I do not have the time yet to post illustrations for some of the entries from the vocabulary, but I hope to have time for this soon.

A year goes by fast, much faster as I thought! Research, classes, and a couple of conferences kept me from dedicating time to the vocabulary project. But, the updated vocabulary is currently in its final phase of revision. Spellings of entries are checked, corrections are being made, and some new entries are being added. Very soon the updated vocabulary will be available online through Mesoweb. As a sneak preview, above the cover of the vocabulary.

The image (photo: Jorge Perez de Lara, originally posted at Mesoweb.com) above is just to illustrate that an online solution has been found, within Blogger instead of outside (which I actually would have preferred, as image size is limited).

When time permits, this blog on Maya Hieroglyphic Writing will officially begin posting entries relative to the Updated Preliminary Classic Maya - English Vocabulary, the latest version of which has entered its final editing phase.

Maya Glyph Blog .... Still In Preparation
Some things take more time than others ... Finishing the updated version of the Classic Maya - English vocabulary takes more time than anticipated (at present all entries have been checked, over 250 explanatory footnotes have been added, and the location of some 2,500 examples in published hieroglyphic texts are included; the new version does include illustrations, but only of a few pertinent spellings), while additionally I still have to find a web location to put the images for the Maya Glyph Blog ... When fully operational this blog will be announced at Maya News Updates and Ancient MesoAmerica News Updates.

Maya Glyph Blog - Introductory Note

At the present time this blog is UNDER CONSTRUCTION. As the updated edition of my "Preliminary Classic Maya - English, English - Classic Maya Vocabulary of Hieroglyphic Readings" (Boot 2002, posted at Mesoweb.com) is close to completion, entries for this blog are already in preparation.

When this blog is officially operational I will indicate this at my other blogs:
