    Accordion Bookmaking

    What is Book Art?

    Mayan
    Accordion Bookmaking

    The Maya writing system consists of about 1000 distinct characters


    or hieroglyphs ('glyphs')
    Books were folded and consisted of bark paper or leather leaves
    On top was an adhesive stucco layer on which to write
    They are largely of a divinatory and priestly nature, containing
    almanacs, astrological tables, and ritual programs
