MARTINEZ BARACS, R. From Tepeaquilla to Tepeaca, 1528-1555. Andes [online]. 2006, n.17, pp.281-328. ISSN 1668-8090.

The studies on the beginnings of the Guadalupan cult in Mexico have been limited by the conflict between the lack of rigor of the so called "aparitionist" historians, and the merely negative arguments of the "antiaparitionist" historians. I intend to find a way out for the Guadalupan historical studies by focusing on the place itself, Tepeyac, in the north of Mexico City. In other works I have worked on Tepeyac (Tepeyácac) in the Prehispanic period and during the seizure of the city of Mexico Tenochtitlan (1519-1521). Now I go on the research by revising the information available produced between the first documented apparition of the name of Tepeyac (Tepeaquilla, as it was then called), in 1528, and 1555, before the first documented apparition of the name of Guadalupe given to that place in 1556.

Keywords : Guadalupan cult; Aparicionism; Tepeyac.
