MILBRATH, Susan. Evidences of agro-astronomy among the ancient mayas. Estud. cult. maya [online]. 2016, vol.47, pp.11-29. ISSN 0185-2574.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ecm.2016.47.738.

This study focuses on a Postclassic Maya agricultural almanac in the Madrid Codex (12b-18b), which seems to show a registry of eclipses integrated with observations of Venus in the context of a 260-day calendar (Tzolkin). Using the dates of eclipses visible in Yucatan, it is possible to date the events between 1452 and 1492, contemporary with the use of the codex.

Palabras llave : Madrid Codex; agricultural cycles; Venus; solar eclipses; Tzolkin calendar.
