A community-maintained tertiary reference on the chronicler Cristobal de Molina, directly examined. Its strength is dating his manuscript precisely and naming its two-part structure of myth and rite; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than an Andean ethnohistory monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.
