I am coming towards the end of the book and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I wonder if Shellabarge used as a resource "Relacion de las cosas de Yucatan" (1566). written by a Franciscan Monk named Diego de Landa. Reference http://www-groups.dcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/~history/histTopics/Mayan_mathematics.html. My theory is he loosely based Father Olmedo on Fr Landa and got a lot of detail from that book.
