Since the discovery of emblem glyphs by Heinrich Berlin,in 1958, and the reconstruction of the dynastic history of Piedrasto the Caracol dynasty in the first series; two important personsand another possible ruler and their parents and consorts in thesecond series; and three rulers and their parents and consorts inthe third series.Negras by Tatiana Proskouriakoff, in 1960, the study of Mayaninscriptions has been advanced. The dynastic history of majorsites has now been reconstructed, and the significance of thegreater part of glyphs understood. However, it is still too earlyto say that the Mayan glyphs have been deciphered, since eventhe rules of glyphic usage are not well-known. A necessary firststep is an analysis of the glyphs. In a series of this papers, Iattempt to formulate rules of Maya glyphic writing, to study stylisticchange, and elucidate dynastic history. The Naranjo textsare examined first.The history of Naranjo is divided into three series by twointervals during which no stelaes were erected (Table 1). Firstall readable dates were extracted (Table 2) and arrangedchronologically for each series to understand the over all dynastichistory (Table 3). Next, calendrical glyphs were examined forvariations and stylistic change.The texts consist of a repetition of date and non-date glyphs.Those of series I are the simplest, and are therefore utilized asthey stand. Those of series II and III were re-written into thelinear forms for each date sentence or clause to facilitate theanalysis of complex texts (Figs. 17, 18). In the analysis of eachseries, I tried to clarify dynastic history and discover synominousglyphs (i.e., glyphic interchangeability). With respect todynastic history, I discuss six persons having a close relationship
