About This Book

A concise annotated survey of printed and manuscript sources for Yucatán and neighboring regions, compiling sixteenth‑century chronicles, travel reports, ecclesiastical writings, and later reprints and translations. The author catalogs editions and language versions, identifies where particular reports appear, and comments on the reliability and importance of eyewitness and polemical accounts. Organized by region and chronological groups, the notes direct readers to manuscripts and published collections, summarize descriptions of ruins and indigenous customs, and offer critical guidance on the strengths and limitations of prominent sources for further research.
