- FIRST PART.
- This first Tonalamatl has the following form:--
- The Tonalamatl 2b runs thus:--
- Of the 8 hieroglyphs
- 2c contains the following Tonalamatl:--
- The three groups of four hieroglyphs each are arranged as follows:--
- 2d has the following Tonalamatl:--
- The hieroglyphs are
- The hieroglyphs are in the following order:--
- I 10 XI 4 II 15 IV 9 XIII 14 I
- I 4 V 8 XIII 11 XI 15 XIII 14 I.
- The hieroglyphs
- Four hieroglyphs belong to each of the four subdivisions:--
- The manuscript gives the following:--
- I have corrected the 15 in the manuscript by making it 16.
- I read it thus:--
- 6 gods with 4 hieroglyphs each are represented on these pages:--
- 1. The god A with his two signs in 2 and 3.
- 2. D with the signs 6 and 7.
- 3. F with the signs 10 and 11 (the latter _c_).
- There are 24 hieroglyphs for the 6 divisions:--
- The first of these Tonalamatls, on pages 16b-17b, runs as follows:--
- The hieroglyphs stand thus:--
- The 24 hieroglyphs of the six divisions stand thus:--
- The hieroglyphs stand thus:--
- The hieroglyphs stand thus:--
- The hieroglyphs run thus:--
- The hieroglyphs are in the following order:--
- The hieroglyphs are arranged in the following order:--
- The hieroglyphs are in the following order:--
- The hieroglyphs are:--
- I will now give an approximate reproduction of the page:--
- Thus we have
- 1. The Columns of Day-Signs.
- 2. The Top Pictures.
- 3. The Top Hieroglyphs.
- 4. The Middle Pictures.
- 5. The Middle Hieroglyphs.
- 6. The Bottom Pictures.
- 7. The Bottom Hieroglyphs.
- The following numbers were thus obtained:--
- 2) = 17,975 × 156 (156 = IV Kan - IV Ahau).
- 3) = 35,950 × 78 (78 = IV Ik - IV Ahau and IV Kan - IV Ik).
- 5) 1,308,580 + 1,495,520, therefore 14,380 (91 + 104).
- 6) 1,380,600 + 1,423,500, therefore 3,900 (354 + 365).
- Then we have the large number desired:--
- The large number must have been formed as follows:--
- We have here first a Tonalamatl of the usual kind, arranged as follows:--
- The hieroglyphs are arranged as follows:--
- Now let us examine the hieroglyphs, which I have numbered thus:--
- The hieroglyphs are as follows:--
- I will designate the hieroglyphs of the seven divisions thus:--
- Let us now consider the five groups individually:--
- III 19 IX 19 II 19 VIII 21 III.
- To begin with, the day signs are set down in the following order:--
- 1. B is sitting in a house and holding the Kan sign in his hand.
- 5. B is standing in the pouring rain and looking backward.
- 6. B with folded arms is sitting in a house.
- 16. B with arms folded is sitting in a house with the Cauac sign below.
- PART II.
- The whole period is therefore divided as follows:--
- Let us first examine the pictures:--
- I shall examine the remaining signs in the order of the pages.
- I cannot explain 4 and 5 on page 48.
- The _whole_ period of 11,958 days was divided as follows:--
- IV. 42a and 49b both contain the sign for the sun between clouds.
- The dates corresponding to these numbers are as follows:--
- The three pairs of numbers found by computation are as follows:--
- 3. The two numbers 2b and 4b are exactly the same.
- The work of the Indian computer was, therefore, as follows:--
- III 2.
- XIII 20.
- Now for the single groups:--
- 1. The 54-Series of the Day IX Ix.
- 2. The 65-Series of the Day IV Eb.
- 3. The Groups of Hieroglyphs.
- I think these eight hieroglyphs can be interpreted as follows:--
- The following is to be noted in this connection:--
- 4. The Large Numbers.
- The Manuscript offers material with which to work, beginning on page 70:--
- This is followed at the right top of page 73 by
- Two of the numbers and two of the dates are conjectural:--
- As multiples of 260 these three numbers have the following form:--
- Let us first of all examine their curious relation to one another:--
- Now we also have the following equations for the four numbers:--
- In the first case we see the following:--
- While in the second case:--
- 5. The Serpent.
- Black Red
- 6. The Columns of Hieroglyphs.
