Sumario:The present paper tries to rethink the evangelization of the New World through the cultural products it instituted: as a process of memory building attained by the American chronicles, that is: an expungement-institution of the pagan past and the events which would support colonial rule. It reflects on the social place that allowed the eschatological understanding of the event from the Franciscan perspective. The historical and symbolic elements that made possible to organize the version of the conquest in the book xii of the work of Sahagún – to generate a new memory out, according the spiritual conquest – are exposed as a de-civilizing of the pre-hispanic world intended to forge a past for the new Christianized Indian society.
