The various ways in which the accusation has been made are discussed in Gurría Lacroix' essay (""Acusación de plagiario"") in volume 7 of the IIH edition. As Woodrow Borah put it in his review:-Jorge Gurría Lacroix, who died before this volume appeared, examines at considerable length the old charge of plagiarism raised against Fray Juan in his use particularly of Mendieta's chronicle, and by doing so, of Mendieta in his use of Motoliniá's writing. The charges are disposed of, one hopes definitively, by making clear the customs of the time and the specific instructions to Torquemada from his Order. Chronicles were regarded as community property to be used as the Order decided.
