The project on the description of Yucatec Maya makes the Grammar of modern Yucatec Maya by Manuel Andrade available online here for the first time. Up to 12.10.2008, the work had been available only as a microfilm:

Andrade, Manuel J. 1955, A grammar of Modern Yucatec. Chicago: University of Chicago Library (Microfilm Collection of Manuscripts on Middle American Cultural Anthropology, 41).

We acquired a printout of the microfilm and typed it into an HTML file (scanning and text recognition proved impossible). We offer two versions of Andrade's work here:

• A kind of diplomatic edition (i.e. an essentially unchanged edition) of the original:
  It still contains a couple of typos which we hope to remove shortly. It also contains the errors of the original version. It may be consulted by pressing the button  original version .
• An edited version:
  We corrected some of the errors, provided links for the file-internal references, headings for all of Andrade's sections and a navigation bar which, at the same time, is a table of contents. Moreover, we replaced Andrade's Maya writing system by the scientific orthography. However, for any particular Maya form, Andrade's spelling may be viewed by having the cursor rest on it.
  This is the version available by using the navigation bar at the left-hand side.

Any comments on this work, including help with passages we have been unable to decipher or which may be faulty in the original, will be highly welcome.
