Nahuatl text from Guerrero

[Carlos Santamarina]

Mark:

    Lo que cuentas me recuerda poderosamente a los códices Techialoyan,
donde también parecen haberse buscado falsos arcaismos como aval de la
autenticidad de documentos indígenas recién fabricados  ¿puedes ampliar
información o referencias sobre ese movimiento del que hablas? Gracias.

  Carlos Santamarina.
