Huei tlamahuicoltica, printed in Mexico City in 1649 and compiled by Luis Lasso de la Vega, contains the Nican Mopohua, the earliest surviving published narrative of the Guadalupe apparitions and the tilma. Its strength is that it is the earliest printed source for the story. Its limit is that the attribution of its core text to Antonio Valeriano decades earlier is genuinely contested among historians, a dispute this record names rather than resolves; Stafford Poole's documentary history should be read alongside it.
