Summary
En este texto se aborda el estudio de los canónigos de las catedrales aragonesas a partir de los informes remitidos por los obispos al confesor real, con la finalidad de conocer cuáles eran los clérigos merecedores de acceder a puestos superiores. Con ellos se puede ofrecer un panorama acerca de su número, edad, origen social y geográfico, formación intelectual, formas de acceso a la canonjía, trayectorias profesionales y conducta. En Aragón parecen observarse algunas diferencias con respecto a otros cabildos españoles, por ejemplo en la menor presencia de canónigos de origen noble o principal y en un acceso a las prebendas no tan controlado localmente como en otros lugares.
