78 his prophecy for the northeast at the time of the quarter katun, the halfway point of the prediction of the defeat of the Itza. And he preached Christianity. (1734) And the traditionalists fought back, ending the cycle, and the East priest Bol Ay prophesied that it was time in 1597 to change everything. And the priests and peasants fought over cutting out the existing katun. (1748) 5 MULUC (1598) This may be the fulfillment of the katun in 1598. At the new year a good harvest was predicted for 1598, but first THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY (3r) Üchom y okol ah num Ytza* Lai u than u kat u cuchil Ca ti lik i Y alie u than U mehen kin U mehen akab* Ualac ti uchom u kin U chibil tam ba Holil och Y etel Chac Bol Ai T ix y ulel U y anal than xan i* Ti canil Kan ual e Ukin U peccaan U pec luum* Nac tam ba nom ah kin Nac tam ba u luum ychil peten Ut uch katun Cat cul. 5 Muluc (1598) Hi ix lai ual* Bin u nahin T u kinil ual e T u katunil ual e Ti ho Muluc U kin u ch'aic u bel T u kin u hoch' ich Ti tun Y alie u xeic U lukah u chi e.

And the East priest Bol Ay, Who was also the arrival, 1740 The existence of the word as well On this fourth Kan, The day Of the movement of heaven, The movement of earth, 1745 Knocking together the stubborn sun priests, Knocking together the lands in the country The pruning of the katun When it is seated. 5 Muluc (1598) Perhaps this may also be the return 1750 Which will be fulfilled In this time, This katun, Which is 5 Muluc, The time of his taking his road— 1755 At the time of his decorating his face For the tun, Which is said to be his vomit, The flow of his mouth there. In 5 Ahau was the return of the day 1760 On 5 Muluc. 1729. Page 2 is misnumbered in the manuscript. We thus go from lv to 3r to 3v to 2r to 2v to 4r. 1734. The defeat of the Itza was the prophecy of the Mover, who had become Christian. But the Mayan party fought back. 1740. They were also prophets. 1744. It sounds like an earthquake, but I believe the sense to be figurative. Yucatan is outside the earthquake zone. The implication appears to be that the battle was between traditionalist priests and Christianized peasants. 1749. 5 Muluc 1 Pop (July 19, 1546, or July 6,1598). This "may also be the return" because the true date of 5 Ahau in the colonial tun count falls in this year, namely on 5 Ahau 12 Zip (August 25,1598)—at harvesttime, as the following lines note. I •s 1 i 1 •ï
M there was famine and then later drought, and that did it. The sun priest attacked Christianity all by himself in public. Mayan drinking and Christian baptizing were everywhere as the end of the katun got closer. Maybe it was time to move to the towns and villages, as it had been when the Itza were FIVE AHAU 79 Ukin Y anhom uil uah* Hum pach tzucubil Y anhom uil haa T u tepal T u hunal Yoklal Patal u than T u sipic u cuch T u tatah than Tu bel T u hunal.

Because thus it had happened 1790 To the Itza when they arose At the hole of pain, When they abandoned The wellsides And springs 1795 At the time Of their appearing 1762. There may be an intentional pun here, contrasting sun-beginning with moon-ending. Uil means both 'moon time' and 'shortage'. The following couplet makes it clear that the latter meaning is primary. 1774. Letters missing. 1776. A traditionalist Mayan priest blamed the famine and drought on Christianity, even standing before the cross as he did so and holding traditional Mayan ceremonies requiring drinking. 1778. Letters missing. 1784. This expression is frequent and implies both a short distance and a short time. 1790. The Itza had abandoned the towns and villages but were now considering reoccupying them. Abandonment of villages took place in the Great Mayan Revolt of 1545 to 1546 (Chamberlain 1948: 246).
