I would like to study Nori motives and I am a complete outsider of the subject. I do, however, have background on Chow motives, Voevodsky motives $\mathrm{DM}$ and his stable homotopy category $\mathrm{SH}$.


My question is:


**Do you know an introductory reference and the main papers about Nori motives?**


Thank you very much



Reference for Nori motives
Probably the best introduction has already been mentioned by Donu Arapura, and it is available online:


* Marc Levine, [Mixed Motives](https://www.uni-due.de/~bm0032/publ/MixMotKHB.pdf) (2005)


Section 1 ("Essentials of Nori Motives") of this paper might also be useful:


* Annette Huber & Stefan Müller-Stach, [On the relation between Nori Motives and Kontsevich Periods](https://arxiv.org/abs/1105.0865) (2011)


Also, there are some interesting unpublished notes on motives by Nori himself:


* Madhav Nori, [Lectures at TIFR](https://web.archive.org/web/20160304034131/http://www.arithgeo.ethz.ch/alpbach2011/Nori_TIFR)
