Summary/Abstract: This paper approaches the manner in which a historical text spins its own heterogeneity, yet we endeavour not to disregard the sequential construction of such a text, namely the way in which sequences of a certain type are inserted in sequences of a different type, this fact enabling us to tell the difference between a dominant sequence(an inserting one)and a dominated sequence( an inserted one).In order to highlight the heterogeneous character of the text, it is necessary that one should determine the type of the textual-discursive sequences, the manner in which, hierarchically speaking, they get integrated into the higher structure. The text samples undergoing analysis show that textual consistency is not possible , due to the fact that sequences are combined in a complex way, thing which entails either the scarcity or the inexistence of sequences of the same type in a certain section of a text.
