Rare and useful 3-volume reference set of Diccionario de Motul, Maya Español with Arte de Lengua Maya, reproduced from the important 1929 Juan Martínez Hernández edition.
This set is ideal for collectors, researchers, linguists, historians, and students of Maya / Yucatec Maya language, colonial Mexico, Mesoamerican studies, and Spanish-language reference works. The pages appear to be photocopied/reproduced from the original edition and bound into three sturdy volumes with gray patterned covers and post/screw-style binding.
Please note: this appears to be a later reproduction or facsimile-style copy, not an original 1929 first printing. The set shows visible age/storage wear, edge wear, some cover wear, and handwritten volume markings on the page edges. Interior pages are readable based on the photographed examples.
