Notes sobre epigrafia medieval

Abstract

The aim of this article is to report on the new materials that have recently been found (1999-2000). Of the collection of lapidary inscriptions presented here, two belong to the Barcelona necropolis and three belong to the Girona necropolis. The two stones from the Montjuic Jewish cemetery in Barcelona tell us very little from the textual point of view, since most of the formulary preserved on them is already well-known. Their interest lies rather in the fact that they were found in a sector of the building which until now had yielded no fragments. The absence of any tombstones from the excavation carried out in Girona in1999-2000 is to some extent compensated for by three new fragments having been found in a building owned by the Ochoa family; the building stands on the site of the Jewish necropolis in Montjuic on land which belongs to the Ochoa family. The three tombstones, which have been acquired by the Girona City Council and currently form part of the Museu dHistòria dels Jueus de Girona, date from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
