The Maya Astronomical Computer, by Charles H. Lacombe and [REDACTED], Winter 1977

Their observations were recorded in hieroglyphic books, in which they developed tables for prediction. Three surviving books-the Dresden, Paris, and Madrid codices-contain such tables, with the explanations and specific applications.
