Abstract

The central objective of this search is to build a comparative table of the lineage's founders' ancestors' episodes at three pictoglyfic codices from landlords of mixteca alta: codex Selden, Vindobonense, and Zouche-Nuttall, produced in the post-classic and early colonial period. Moreover, this search intends to begin an analysis of such episodes to understand their function inside the narrative of each codice. (AU)
