JOHANSSON K., Patrick. Omens of the End of a World in Nahua Prophetic Texts. Estud. cult. náhuatl [online]. 2013, vol.45, pp.69-147. ISSN 0071-1675.

After examining briefly the Native notion of "world" and its chronological mechanisms, we will consider the typology of the nahua prophetic signs, the omens and the prophecies that announced the end of their world in texts elaborated or re-elaborated after the conquest. We will also analyze the phenomenon of retrospection and the hermeneutic perspective of Spanish and Natives about what had been augured and what had occurred.

Palabras llave : World; time; end; signs; omens; prophecies; conquest.
