Landa, Fray Diego de , 1524-1579

Yucatan before and after the Conquest / Friar Diedo de Landa / trans. / William Gates - New York : Dover Publications , 1978. - 162 p. : il. maps. ; 22 cm.

The position of Diego de Landa in history rests upon the famous burning of 27 Mayan hieroglyphic rolls as "works of the devil." This book he later wrote explains much of what we know of the Mayas because of the loss of the primary sources in the codexes.
