Names

[Hopkins, Mary]

Library worker here.

Go to your local library, ask the interlibrary loan dept. to look it up for you. The OCLC record number that covers copies in the US is 57730296. It's not ubiquitous, but it's not that rare either.

Hi,

unfortunately there is no online resource available. One has to order that book, but perhaps you will find it in a library in the States or ask the members of "aztlan" at famsi.

Colas, Pierre R.
Sinn und Bedeutung klassischer Maya-Personennamen. Typologische Analyse von Anthropo-nymphrasen in den Hieroglypheninschriften der klassischen Maya-Kultur als Beitrag zur Allgemeinen Onomastik. Acta Mesoamericana, Vol. 15, 2004, xxxv+433pp., cloth, size 21×29,5cm, ISBN 3-931419-11-8, EUR 78,00 (including 25pp. English summary, and database with 2800 entries on CD)

 The link to the publisher:
 http://www.mexicon.de/saurwein.html


There is also one short article (in Spanish) about Maya names in Arqueología Mexicana 2001.

Best,
Stefanie

I'd also be interested in reading about this. I don't know German, but
Google translate does a remarkably good job of rendering German text
into English. That said, Colas's thesis is not available online, as
far as I can tell. Does anyone know of an online resource
(language-agnostic)?
