A line-by-line translation of the Popol Vuh
Allen J. Christenson’s second volume presents the Popol Vuh in a literal, line-by-line English translation, arranged to reflect the poem’s poetic structure. The approach keeps attention on the source text’s phraseology and grammar, making this edition especially oriented toward close engagement with its language and form. As a volume devoted to translation and transcription, it offers a way to encounter the K’iche’-Maya sacred work through its phrasing and poetic organization rather than through a retelling.
