Aveni, Anthony F. Skywatchers of Ancient Mexico
Austin Texas University of Texas Press 1980 Hard Cover Fine Fine 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall
355 pages including index. "We know that the ancient Americans were keen observers of the heavens. Mathematics and astronomy were among their intellectual hallmarks, and indeed they were fanatically devoted to these disciplines. For them, time was a great machine, each day being ticked off in a complex maze of endless cycles. Yet, quite unlike modern astronomy, the raison d'etre of Mesoamerican astronomy was ritualistic and divinatory in nature."
