Note 1103 — Chapter III · (continued 2)

Cf. Short, p. 425. Dr. Harrison Allen in 1875, in the Amer. Philosophical Society’s Transactions, made an analysis of Landa’s alphabet and the published codices. Rau, in his Palenqué Tablet of the U. S. Nat. Museum (ch. 5), examines what had been done up to 1879. In the same year Dr. Carl Schultz-Sellack wrote on “Die Amerikanischen Götter der vier Weltgegenden und ihre Tempel in Palenqué,” touching also the question of interpretation (Zeitschrift für Ethnologie, vol. xi.); and in 1880 Dr. Förstemann examined the matter in his introduction to his reproduction of the Dresden Codex.
