Un patrimonio oculto y recuperado. Los graffiti de la iglesia de Santiago de Peñalba (Peñalba de Santiago, León)

Abstract

Since the middle of the last century, a wide range of publications have included some of the graffiti made on the inside of the early medieval church of Santiago de Peñalba (Peñalba de Santiago, León) In spite of that, these studies only give a fragmented picture of the vast collection of parietal signs preserved. That is why this work makes an in-depth study of all of these graffiti. Most of them were engraved during the Middle Ages, and their types are very diverse as well as the purposes for which they were made.
