TENA COLUNGA, Luz María. Two XVIIIth Century Catechisms Handmade by the “Nahuatlahto Scribe” D. Lucas Matheo. Estud. hist. novohisp [online]. 2020, n.62, pp.35-74.  Epub 04-Dez-2020. ISSN 2448-6922.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iih.24486922e.2020.62.69587.

In this article is demonstrated the relationship between the Doctrina Christiana, Egerton Ms. 2898, and the Catecismo hispano-mexicano. In the works prior to this article, it was believed that they were considered two different catechisms of the eighteenth century, elaborated by the “nahuatlahto scribe” Lucas Matheo. In consequence of the investigation, it is shown that the first manuscript is the original, while the second one is just a copy transcribed by Galicia Chimalpopoca in 1877. Both manuscripts were originally included in the Ramírez Collection until somebody separated them. In this document, the possible scenarios in which the disengagement was feasible are formulated. In addition, a comparative study is presented on the Catechism questionnaires approved by regulations in the 18th century, in order to specify which ones were used as models by the Egerton Ms. 2898.
