Abstract
This article expects to be an introduction to an exhaustive study which I develop nowadays about the transmission of the information of the mirlado of the Canarian aborigines. Since the 15th century to the beginning of the 19th century more than twenty authors have shown their curiosity about this funerary aboriginal practice. The interest of our research lies in distinguishing the relationship of the different texts using the method of the textual criticism. In this communication I will present with this purpose the objectives, methodology and firsts conclusions of our work.
