About the Book

English summary: Diego de Landa wrote his description of the Yucatan and Maya people in 1566, having spent fourteen years there as a missionary. This French translation of the original Spanish offers readers Landa's essential text, with a history of the Maya people before their conquest by the Spanish, Yucatec Maya customs and religious practices, the Maya calendar, and a basic vocabulary. This is one of the first ethnographic texts on this unique civilization. French description: La redaction de la Relation des Choses du Yucatan date de 1566.Son auteur, Diego de Landa, l'ecrivit en Espagne apres quatorze annees passees au Yucatan, province tres recemment conquise par les Espagnols. Religieux, il y avait ete envoye pour evangeliser les Indiens et il s'y lia d'amitie avec un grand seigneur maya qui lui fit partager tout ce qu'il savait de son peuple, de sa culture et de ses croyances. Il en a resulte cette Relation, oeuvre incontournable pour la connaissance des Mayas d'avant la conquete car Landa y expose notamment: - l'histoire ancienne du Yucatan dans les cent vingt ans qui ont precede la venue des Espagnols; - les us et coutumes des Mayas yucateques tels qu'il les a connus; - la religion, les dieux et les rites mayas existant avant leur evangelisation; - le calendrier maya, ses fetes et ceremonies; - un embryon de syllabaire yucateque qui permit d'initialiser le dechiffrement de la mysterieuse ecriture des Mayas. Cette Relation peut etre consideree comme un des tout premiers ouvrages ethnographiques ecrit sur cette civilisation aneantie et a jamais disparue. C'est une oeuvre d'une inestimable valeur scientifique et humaine.La presente traduction est completee d'appendices permettant d'eclairer le lecteur sur l'etat des connaissances actuelles relatives a la civilisation maya, choses nouvelles dont Landa avait bien essaye de rendre compte sans toutefois pouvoir toujours les comprendre.
