Michael D. Coe, Stephen Houston, Mary Miller and Karl Taube are specialists in Maya epigraphy and archaeology, and this Precolumbia Mesoweb Press study is their peer reviewed scholarly assessment of the authenticity of the Grolier Codex, known as the Fourth Maya Codex. Its strength is that it is a peer reviewed argument by leading specialists in the field, engaging directly with the codex's material and iconographic evidence to argue for its authenticity against earlier doubts. Its limit is that authenticity questions around this codex had a genuinely contested history, so a claim treating the matter as settled beyond dispute should note that this assessment, however authoritative, is one scholarly position within that history.
