Keywords:
Metalwork, Romanesque, Documentary sources, Testaments, Altar Frontals.
Abstract
Although very little Catalan metalwork from Romanesque Middle Ages remain, its importance as an artistic production and its social relevance are firmly revealed by documentary sources. This paper is specifically focused on wills from the 11th to the 13th Centuries. It analyse both legacies in metalwork and testamentary bequests for the creation of sumptuary objects, with the aim of elucidating the social and financial uses of these objects, and their role in the patrimonial transfers between secular elites and the ecclesiastical establishment of the medieval society.Downloads
