PASTRANA FLORES, Miguel. The idea of tetzahuitl in the colonial historiography: From the náhuatl tradition to the Illustration. Preliminary comments. Estud. cult. náhuatl [online]. 2014, vol.47, pp.237-252. ISSN 0071-1675.

This paper explores the Nahuatl idea of tetzahuitl and its interpretations in the colonial historiography, since the testimonies of the indigenous tradition concerning the fall of Tula compiled by friar Bernardino de Sahagún, and how this Franciscan interpreted the term, following the way that Juan de Torquemada conceived the concept, and concluding with the look that Francisco Javier Clavigero gave to the issue.

Palabras llave : Tetzáhuitl; historiography of Indian tradition; Colonial historiography; fall of Tula.
