Контекст и история
Сотворение мира, братья-близнецы, спускающиеся в преисподнюю играть в мяч, и родословие гватемальских родов. Записано на киче латиницей около 1550 года, когда иероглифические подлинники уже сожгли. Английский перевод.
Редакционный контекст, а не источник для цитирования: в отличие от отрывков самого произведения, эти сведения нельзя проверить по корпусу.
