This study represents a departure from traditional interpretations of ancient Maya religion which emphasize long-term continuities. Focusing on the Classic and Early Postclassic, Baudez avoids the use of ethnohistoric and ethnographic information in favor of evidence directly connected to earlier times. The result is a study that emphasizes quite substantial changes in belief systems between the Classic period and the time of the Spanish Conquest. In Spanish.
