It is an approximation to the attitudes toward death observed by a group of clergymans from Cuenca (Ecuador) during the second half of the XVII century. The wills of this social elite show us not only a snapshot of the economic situation but also the opportunity of approaching their beliefs, affections and values revealing a moral determined, to a large extent, by the social formalism and conventionality.
