El siete, número cósmico y sagrado. Su simbología en la cultura y rendimiento en el Romancero

Abstract

The vision of the world through select numbers constitutes an universal in the people´s culture. The number seven, of a wide symbology, was an inheritage that the Judaism, especially, bequeathed to Christianity and was projected on the religiosity, speech, titles of books and literary creative activity such as the ballads, where the numeral, when it is not an exact addition, contributes to perefection and value, or it is a repeated coined formula in oral poetry.
