Book Synopsis Western Mesoamerican Calendars and Writing Systems by : Mikkel Bøg Clemmensen
Book excerpt: Mesoamerica is one of the few places to witness the independent invention of writing. Bringing together new research, papers discuss the writing systems of Teotihuacan, Mixteca Baja, the Epiclassic period and Aztec writing of the Postclassic. These writing systems represent more than a millennium of written records and literacy in Mesoamerica.
