Let me add to the information supplied by Dr. Dodds that the revised English 
edition of Durán's "History," published by Doris Heyden in 1994, was her 
response to criticism of the 1964 edition for its attempts at "simplifying" Durán's 
narrative. So the 1994 edition should be preferred if available. Horcasitas 
would certainly have contributed to the revised edition if not for his 
untimely death from lung cancer.
