Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person

Claude-François Baudez (3 December 1932 – 13 July 2013) was a French Mayanist, archaeologist and iconologist. He was honorary director of research at the French National Centre for Scientific Research, a specialist on the rituals and beliefs of Mesoamerica, particularly of the Maya civilisation.[1]

Career

In his early years, Claude-François Baudez studied the little-known remains of Mesoamerican civilisations in Costa Rica and Honduras.[2] Since 1971, he has devoted himself mainly to research on the Maya culture. He was co-director of French excavations at the Toniná archaeological site in Mexico, and led the Copán exploration and restoration programme, while studying its sculpture.[3]

He is co-author of Шаблон:Lang, published in the collection “Шаблон:Lang” at Éditions Gallimard; and Шаблон:Lang, a richly illustrated pocket book from the collectionDécouvertes Gallimard”, which has been translated into twelve languages, including English.
