Brinton, Daniel Garrison, 1837-1899

"The Myths of the New World A Treatise on the Symbolism and Mythology of the Red Race of America"

104: Kopenhagen, 1790.
[250-1] _Rel. de la Nouv. France_, 1636, p. 105.
[250-2] Long's _Expedition_, i. p. 280; Waitz, _Anthropologie_, iii. p.
531.
[250-3] Mueller, _Amer. Urreligionen_, p. 287.
[251-1] Compare Garcilasso de la Vega, _Hist. des Incas._, liv. ii. chap.
ii., with _Lett. sur les Superstitions du Perou_, p. 104. Cupay is
undoubtedly a personal form from _Cupan_, a shadow. (See Holguin, _Vocab.
de la Lengua Quichua_, p. 80: Cuzco, 1608.)
[251-2] "El que desparece o desvanece," _Hist. de Yucathan_, lib. iv.
cap. 7.
[251-3] Ximenes, _Vocab. Quiche_, p. 224. The attempt of the Abbe
Brasseur to make of Xibalba an ancient kingdom of renown with Palenque as
its capital, is so utterly unsupported and wildly hypothetical, as to
justify the humorous flings which have so often been cast at antiquaries.
[252-1] Scheol is from a Hebrew word, signifying to dig, to hide in the
earth. Hades signifies the _unseen_ world. Hell Jacob Grimm derives from
_hilan_, to conceal in the earth, and it is cognate with _hole_ and
_hollow_.
