Resum
This article addresses the work of the epigraphic workshops and their relationship with sculpture workshops in the final years of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Modern Period. Our primary source has been the inscriptions executed in Gothic minuscule script in Sigüenza Cathedral. We have done a comparative analysis of the script used in these inscriptions, associate it with the sculpture workshops which we know operated in Sigüenza in the aforementioned years, and propose the hypothesis that there were specialists in epigraphic work who provided their services to the large sculpture workshops.
