The Maya of Central America were the only group of American Indians who habitually erected stone monuments carrying lengthy inscriptions. These inscriptions are the only direct source of information for historians and anthropologists studying Maya culture. This work is an ambitious attempt to list and catalogue all known Maya inscriptions and to record the occurence of every glyph, in order to aid the study of this unique historical source.
