Los otros signos

The aim of this article is to study the signs and symbols that appear in the hispanic medieval documents and manuscripts whose form does not derive from the word subscripsi or from the cross. These signs and symbols have usually been considered simply as mere elements to validate the charters. However, these elements were useful as a mean of visual communication between the high classes, able to generate charters, and the rest of medieval society, the majority illiterate. Este trabajo se enmarca en el proyecto de investigación Usos, prácticas y modelos de conservación de lo escrito en la península ibérica entre los siglos XI a XVII, n° de referencia BHA 2002-02541, financiado por el Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología, dirigido por Carlos Sáez (Universidad de Alcalá).
