Veneno, secreto y virtud en textos novohispanos de Yucatán

The study exposes in four Yucatecan texts of the novohispano period narratives coming from the Mediterranean space. These are complex narratives that for expository purposes are reduced to simple nouns: poison, secret and virtue. The European books in the convents of Yucatan and in the small secular libraries did not disappear with the change of the centuries nor with the climatic inclemencies of the Caribbean. Part of the content of these ancient and medieval books moved to foundational texts of regional culture, to the origin of the Hispanic tradition of the Yucatan.
