 The charge occasionally resurfaces, even if only obliquely and by association.Almost the entirety of Mendieta's history is reproduced throughout the course of Books 15-21 of the "Monarquía indiana" (where it comprises about 80% of the text), but in the general prologue Torquemada acknowledged his use of prior writings by Francisco Ximénez, Motolinía, Sahagún, and Mendieta, and 66 specific references are made to Mendieta in the course of the work (only 36 of which have been identified).Nevertheless, Torquemada indisputably used these sources far more extensively than he gave credit for.
