| 總結: | This essay proposes a comparative analysis of the production and circulation of ritual and devotional texts in some Nahua and Zapotec communities in 1613-1654, with an emphasis on three basic topics: the rapport between oral and written transmission o native ritual knowledge, the clandestine appropriation of Christian ritual and devotional texts by indigenous authors, and the clandestine circulation of native ritual texts. These topics will be approached through three case studies: 1) The reproduction of a Nahua oral genre by ritual specialists investigated by Hernando Ruiz de Alarcon in 1613-1629; 2) The production of Nahua devotional miscellaneous texts in the mid-seventeenth century, as shown by an unpublished manuscript from the National Library of France which contains an interpretation in Nahuatl of the zodiac signs, and 3) The circulation of divinatory texts in San Miguel Sola (Oaxaca) among Zapotec ritual specialists and their clients, according to idolatry proceedings conducted by Balsalobre and other priests in 1629-1657.
