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.

Palavras-chave : Madrid Codex; agricultural cycles; Venus; solar eclipses; Tzolkin calendar.
