Abstract

The present article continues the published one in the previous number of this review. It is realized a meticulous analysis of the writing of Mertola's inscriptions in the period of visighotic authority in the Ibe-rian Peninsula. The writing is analized in connection with the purpose of the written object. Likewise the article insists upon unit among the epigraphs and the rest of written documents in contemporary epoch. Fi-nally we have done a review of evolution of form of different letters, which it is very important in order to date inscriptions without explicit date or that have lost it.
