description New hypotheses on the Crónica mexicáyotl. Questions raised by the connections linking many ethnohistorical sources of central Mexico and, particularly, their realization context, intrigue the researchers. In this paper, we examine the case of the Crónica mexicáyotl. In its present version, this document, well known by ancient Mexico specialists, was written by two authors, Tezozomoc and Chimalpahin. It was composed by the assembly of several heterogeneous sources – or sources extracts. Among these are some passages coming from the Crónica X ; they are very important since the original was lost a long time ago. On the other hand, although he remained very close to his main sources, Tezozomoc, as most of the authors of his time, did not merely transcribe exact copies : he did not hesitate, indeed, to add details coming from additional sources, and descriptions inspired to him by the drawings of the pictorial manuscripts he had under his eyes.
