"Representation of Deities of the Maya Manuscripts" by Paul Schellhas is a scientific study from the early 1900s that dives into the world of Maya gods as they're shown in ancient writings. The study looks closely at the pictures and symbols of gods like the Death-God and the Maize-God found in the Dresden, Madrid, and Paris codices. Schellhas carefully describes each god's features, what they stand for, and their place in Maya stories and ceremonies. This book shines a light on how the Maya people understood life, death, and the world around them through their gods. The book is a cornerstone resource used by researchers and anyone fascinated by Mesoamerican cultures.
