Zusammenfassung:"Here we have a fascinating glimpse of a Nahua historian's version of a well-known conquest narrative, infusing it with detail from a more local, indigenous perspective, and informed by hindsight.

Francisco Lopez de Gomara's monumental Historia de las Indias y Conquista de Mexico was published in 1552 to instant success.

As he copied, Chimalpahin rewrote large sections of La conquista, adding information about Emperor Moteuczoma and other key indigenous figures who participated in those first encounters
