Guitar in flamenco history

Yesterday I read an article. The following quote was interesting and makes me want to open a thread about guitar in flamenco history. https://www.earlyromanticguitar.com/erg/evolution.htm "Tyler and Sparks point out that in Spain, in the 1700's, there were 2 styles of guitar playing: "noisy music" which consisted of much strumming by the commoners, and "court music" which consisted of refined compositions for the aristocracy. The term "musica ruidosa" was used by Gaspar Sanz in his method book of 1674. Perhaps this is the root of the "classical" versus "flamenco" guitar styles in Spain, as well as today's split between popular steel string and electric guitars, and the "classical" guitar. References to rasgueado techniques, similar or identical to those used by today's flamenco players, are cited in Baroque guitar publications. The desire of Spaniards to produce forceful strumming in noisy bars and such is probably one reason for adding a 6th course. However, another reason was that a 6th string eliminated the awkward chord inversions required on the 5-course guitar." As we know guitar is introduced into flamenco as an accompanying instrument in the early 1800's. Is this all we know? If flamenco guitar history is not old, there must be reliable sources about the development of flamenco guitar techniques. Can we say R. Montoya is responsible for the most flamenco techniques we know today except rasguedo and pulgar related techniques? What do we know more about Miguel Garcia? Where is the origin of rasgueado? Most sources say the prototype of rasgueado was used on Barock guitar in the 17. and 18 century. Another interesting question is where does falseta come from? In my opinion we could trace its origin back to melodic lines played by oud. So clearly of arabic/moorish origin. Before going down the rabbit hole on internet, I ask you experts on the foro.
