The work, which is in alphabetic text in the Kiche' language, is a translation of a hieroglyphic text containing astronomical knowledge as well as stories of creation, human emergence, and Mayan history. Rather than transcribing the meaning of individual glyphs, the translators recorded what might have been said by a reader interpreting the hieroglyphic text aloud. The K'iche' intellectuals who translated their stories and histories into alphabetic script had learned alphabetic writing from Spanish missionaries, who hoped not to facili- tate the recording of Mayan stories but to convert Mayan people to Catholicism. For the K'iche' transcribers of the Popol Vuh, this was an act of turning alphabetic writing to Indigenous ends, to ensure the perpetuation of Mayan literature and knowledge. Between 1701 and 1715, the Dominican priest Francisco Ximénez saw the K'iche' manuscript and made a copy, to which he added a Spanish translation. The manuscript transcribed and trans- lated by Ximénez remained in the possession of the Dominican order until the closing of monaster- ies in 1830, when it was sent to Guatemala City, then to France, and in 1911 to the Newberry Library in Chicago, where it resides today.
