	Readings in Classical Nahuatl: Nican Mopohua: Here It Is Told
		The account of Juan Diego and his efforts to carry out the apparition's wishes to build a shrine on the hill is known as the "Nican Mopohua" ("Thus It Is Said"), after its opening words, and it has been understood for centuries to be the definitive account of what happened.
		For this reason, the Nican Mopohua, as the cornerstone document, may reasonably be called the most important document ever produced in Nahuatl.

		First, the Nican Mopohua was in the historians Alva Ixtlixóchitl and Sigüenza y Góngora hands and then it was under the Jesuits custody and under the university responsibility.

	Letras Libres - "Tonantzin Guadalupe, de Miguel León-Portilla" por Rodrigo Martínez Baracs
		El Huei tlamahuizoltica incluye, además del Nican mopohua, textos introductorios, oraciones y el Nican motecpana, "Aquí se pone en orden", relato de algunos milagros atribuidos a la Virgen en los años que siguieron a su primera aparición.
		Un ejemplo: donde el Nican mopohua llama a la Virgen "in cenquizca ichpochtli Sancta María", León-Portilla traduce "la perfecta doncella Santa María", sin indicar que, como lo vio Louise Burkhart, los frailes utilizaron el término ichpochtli, "doncella", para traducir el concepto, ausente en náhuatl, de "virgen".
		El náhuatl del Nican mopohua es tan elegante, sutil y refinado, que se cree imposible que un español del siglo XVII haya podido escribirlo.

		Written in the Aztec language (with some Spanish) sometime in the mid-1550s, the Nican Mopohua is much closer in time to the events of 1531.
		The Nican Mopohua was the account chosen as "the most satisfactory" to be sent to Rome out of 18 accounts, which indicates the regard in which it was held.
		The Nican Mopohua says "his name was Juan Diego; he lived in Cuauhtitlan, as they say." That he was a native of Cuauhtitlan is attested to in oral testimony in the aforementioned Proceedings of 1666.

		In the archaeological sector, excavations in one of the presumed birthplaces of Juan Diego, Cuautitlán (Mexico State) are bringing to light important elements that confirm the oral tradition, and other written source material.
		The most important of the indigenous sources is undoubtedly "El Nican Mopohua", attributed to the Indian writer Antonio Valeriano (1520-1606), about whose authorship the best experts today have no doubts (cf.
		On his part, another well-known Nahuatliaco expert, Miguel León Portilla, agrees with O'Gorman, and recalls, citing the contemporary missionary friars, Fr Sahagún and Fr Torquemada, that Valeriano was a well-known Latinist and also a distinguished teacher at the famous Franciscan school in Santa Cruz de Tlatelolco; he advances an interesting hypothesis that we shall quote.

	The Latin Americanist (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Miguel León-Portilla has given us a brilliant new Spanish translation of the Náhuatl text "Nican Mopohua [Here is Told]," which recounts the apparitions of the Virgin of Guadalupe to Juan Diego, and answers questions about its authorship and antiquity that have long intrigued scholars.
		But they and the "Nican Mopohua," by far the most important of the six parts, could not have been written by the same author, because of their diverse elements and different styles.
		He could have written some of the six sections of 1649 Náhuatl work but not the "Nican Mopohua." The latter is too fluid, too direct, and too unadorned.

		Some historians and devotees of the Virgin respond that the Nican mopohua was actually written in the 1500's by a man named Antonio Valeriano, and that de la Vega was merely the first person to publish a Nahuatl account of the apparition.
		The debate over the authorship of the Nican mopohua is vigorous.
		When dealing with the argument of the "117 years of silence" between the apparition and the earliest extant published accounts of it, some historians also point to the Codex Escalada, which tells the story of the meeting on Tepeyac and which dates to 1548.

		The most widely accepted, though not the first, account of the appearance of the Virgin Mary in South America is the Nican Mopohua written in Nahuatal, the indigenous language of Meso-American nations such as the Aztecan Empire.
		The Nican Mopohua was told by many people living in the region of Tepeyac and recorded by historians; describe the meeting between La Virgen and San Juan Diego in 1531 which was ten years since the Mexico region had been conquered by Spanish conquistadores.
		Juan Diego was a widowed convert to the Roman Catholic religion and was on his way to the monastery or “to attend to divine things” passing the hill of Tepeyac when the sky turned bright and he began to hear “singing on top of the hill, like the songs of various precious birds”.

		The narration of these events in a book written in Nahuatl known as Nican mopohua has fueled an intense debate between “aparitionists” who maintain that the miraculous appearance did occur and “antiaparitionists” who claim that no such miracle took place.
		According to the Nican mopohua the Virgin first appeared to Juan Diego in the morning of December 12, 1531 and asked him to send her message to the ecclesiastic authorities.
		At first, some sectors of the church condemned the cult of Guadalupe, but by the middle of the 16th century, the cult had become very popular and dramatizations of the apparitions called Neixcuitili were very popular.
