ResumeEste artículo se centra en los signos o símbolos, presentes en los documentos y manuscritos medievales hispanos, cuya forma no deriva de la palabra subscripsi ni de las cruces. Habitualmente han sido tratados como meros elementos de validación de los diplomas. Pero estos elementos servían también de nexos de comunicación visual entre las clases altas capaces de producir escritos y los demás miembros de la sociedad medieval, en su mayoría analfabetos.
AbstractThe 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.
