In this presenta tion I consider Old Testament narratives in the first títulos written in K’ iche’ in the mid-sixteenth century and in the earliest K’iche’ homiletic pr oduction. Responding to the need to legitimize their rule and hereditary pr ivileges, on the one hand, and to cast themselves as Christian subjects of the Spanish king, on the other, K’iche’ noble scribes presented their ances tors as members of one of the ancient tribes of Israel. They reinterpreted Old Testament narratives as variations of migration stories, the emblematic postclassic Maya official lineage history. I examine the articulation of M aya and Christian temporalities in these texts, the fraught dialogue betwee n Maya lords and Dominicans, and the solutions Maya nobles developed to mak e Christian time scales and cycles compatible with Maya conceptions of time and elite political agendas.

In this presentation I consider Old Testament narratives in the fi rst títulos written in K’iche’ in the mid-sixteenth century and in the earl iest K’iche’ homiletic production. Responding to the need to legitimize the ir rule and hereditary privileges, on the one hand, and to cast themselves as Christian subjects of the Spanish king, on the other, K’iche’ noble scri bes presented their ancestors as members of one of the ancient tribes of Is rael. They reinterpreted Old Testament narratives as variations of migratio n stories, the emblematic postclassic Maya official lineage history. I exam ine the articulation of Maya and Christian temporalities in these texts, th e fraught dialogue between Maya lords and Dominicans, and the solutions May a nobles developed to make Christian time scales and cycles compatible with Maya conceptions of time and elite political agendas.
