Abstract
El Libro de fundación del Real Monasterio de la
Concepción de Quito (1577), recoge más que el
establecimiento del mismo, las visitas oficiales
del ordinario y prelados de la catedral de la ciudad al convento, que nos dan noticia de la necesidad e importancia que había en mantener un protocolo, de tener unas reglas, de conservar una jerarquía y de someterse a un capítulo de culpas, por el que tenían que pasar una por una, todas las monjas por su antigüedad. Nos da noticia también del nuevo rezado, del oficio, de las horas canónicas, del coro, y de algunas prácticas musicales rechazadas por el ordinario, que debieron haber pasado realmente dentro y fuera del convento. En el Libro de fundación salen solo los aspectos formales, sin embargo, este documento se convierte en un espejo de lo que se deseaba que fuese la sociedad quiteña, en lo moral y espiritual.
The Founding book of the Royal Monastery of the Conception of Quito (1577) includes more than its establishment and official visits from the prelates of the city's cathedral to the convent. They inform us of the need and importance placed on maintaining protocol, rules, and hierarchy, as well as submitting oneself to a Chapter of faults (in which all nuns had to pass one by one, according to seniority). It also provides us with information regarding the new prayer, the office, the canonical hours, the choir, and some musical practices rejected by the ordinary, which should have actually passed in and out of the convent. Only the formal aspects are included in the book; however, this document becomes a mirror of what Quito's society aspired to be, morally and spiritually.
