Abstract
The Cathedral of León preserves numerous representations of Saint James the Greater, most of which depict him as pilgrim. This paper studies these images, analysing their typology and possible variants, as well as their relationship with other representations of "Jacobean" subject-matter also present in the Cathedral. It will be confirmed that the Apostle is always accompanied by the same attributes ¿ book, hat, pilgrim staff and pouch with shell ¿ and that this iconography rarely suffers modifications, with the exception of a few examples of special interest.
