bark paper (\cite[34\psq]{vonhagen1944}) which were then bundled and

These books also play an important role during the process of hieroglyphic decipherment as they
contain vital information about historical events, calendrical information, ritual and
medical descriptions and many more aspects which help to analyze the great writings of the
Maya (\cite[3\psq]{roys1933}).
