LOS COPISTAS OBRANTES EN EL ARCHIVO CATEDRALICIO DE LA IGLESIA MATRIZ DE CUENCA (ECUADOR) EN EL SIGLO XIX: INDIVIDUALIZACIÓN E IDENTIFICACIÓN SOBRE LA BASE DE UN ESTUDIO COMPARADO

This article presents a study on the identification and individualization of the copyists who work in the Musical Archive of the Main Cathedral of Cuenca, in the 19th century. The analysis is based on the manuscripts recovered and cataloged in 2016 and 2018 as part of a research project that addressed the topic of reconstructing the corresponding archives. The work starts with a brief historical contextualization, evidencing the organization of diverse documents of the Archdioceses of Cuenca, specifically the music catalog. The hypotheses raised have led to an individualization of the manuscripts through a comparison among them. Thus, it is possible to obtain different viewpoints of the object of study.
