- Abstract
Epigraphical production is the result of the action of publicity carried out in all the workshops of a given society, at a given time and in a given place. In the province of Burgos, from the eighth to the twelfth centuries, a great number of «advertising objects» were created, information of which has survived for about fifty of them. A series of political, religious and social events conditioned the production of an epigraphical corpus rich in nuances and specificities that makes it one of the most noteworthy in the Peninsula. Its genesis, form, epigraphical tradition and especially, its writing are essential elements that increase our knowledge of the history of this province. Indeed, writing as a means of forging a message appears to be the best reflection of the communicative activity of society in Early Medieval Burgos.
