Otra invitación a la microhistoria

El autor examina las descripciones del emblema fundacional de Tenochtitlan, antecedente del Escudo Nacional, que se encuentran explícitas en las fuentes prehispánicas y en documentación indígena e hispana producida en el periodo colonial. Se indaga cuándo, por qué y en qué circunstancias pudo haberse creado ese símbolo. Se rastrea, asimismo, el itinerario que el emblema del águila y la serpiente siguió durante la Colonia hasta su instauración definitiva como símbolo del actual Estado nacional.
