Con este objetivo,se presentan críticamente, respetando el criterio cronológico de su aparición, los textos sobre el Popol Vuh (estudios, ensayos,prefacios, postfacios, artículos), escritos por autores serbios y publicados, tanto en libros como en revistas literarias, en el idioma serbio.

Abstract: The present work is dedicated to the interpretations of the Popol Vuh,one of the best-known literary works of the ancient Mayans, which were made by Serbian researchers throughout the second half of the 20th century and during the first two decades of the 21st century. With this objective, the texts on the Popol Vuh (studies,essays, prefaces, postfaces, articles) written by Serbian authors and published both in books and in literary magazines in Serbian language, are presented critically, respecting the chronological criterion of their appearance. The methodological framework that has been most appropriate to be applied in order to understand the communicative process in question as well as its role in changing the horizon of expectations of Serbian readers, is based on the analysis and comparison of all the relevant elements that form part of this aspect of the interpretive reception in Serbia.
