Reception versus origin — Method

Direct answer

Reception versus origin — Method is implemented as a source-bounded method guide.

Answer contract

Answer only the method question inside the adjudicated boundary and inspected source scopes; label source, translation, period, rights, and uncertainty explicitly.

Evidence and exact locators

freiberger-comparison-method — §2 comparative configuration and process; §3 conclusions; pp. 1–14. Supports: Defines comparison as a research design with declared goals, mode, scale, scope, comparands, criteria, description, juxtaposition, redescription, rectification, and theory formation.

bojadzievska-comparative-mythology — Abstract; references; article identity and licence notice. Supports: Surveys linguistic, psychological, anthropological, structural, and phylogenetic approaches and notes multiple possible explanations for cross-cultural similarity.

getty-florentine-project-and-terms — Project history and edition description; Getty Terms of Use; Codex book index and parallel text/translation labels. Supports: Establishes the manuscript’s collaborative sixteenth-century production and the digital edition’s separate Nahuatl, Spanish, and translation layers.

What the evidence does not establish

The framework does not make a selected comparison criterion natural, prove two figures identical, or validate a historical diffusion claim.

A possible explanation is not evidence of common origin, diffusion, identity, or universality in a particular comparison.

The project description’s reliability claim does not remove colonial mediation or make translations and images freely reusable.
