What did the Spanish think and do to the Mayan writing system and Mayan books?
The Spanish were catholic and thought the Mayans were savages and less than human.

When the Spanish started invading around the 16th century, many of them were destroyed. Only four of these sacred books remain today. The system of writing was retained by some Mayans who converted to Catholicism and taught others in secret. The writing remained on giant stone slabs called stelae, which were similar to codices.
