Abstract

Tomando como ponto de partida os documentos 19 e 47, são analisadas outras informações do cartulário de Lorvão, assim como certos silêncios e partes adulteradas. Partindo da sugestão de que existe uma complementaridade entre os registos 19 e 33, chega-se à conclusão de que o (re)fundador do mosteiro poderá ter sido o príncipe rebelde Bermudo Ordonhes. Contribuem para fundamentar esta proposta, o tipo asturiano da cabeceira da basílica altomedieval, descoberta em 1984, assim como o estilo do único friso escultórico subsistente, reportável à arte da diocese de Coimbra durante o século IX e inícios do X.

Taking documents 19 and 47 as a starting point, other information from Lorvão’s cartulary is analysed, as well as certain silences and falsified data. Based on the suggestion that there is a complementarity between registers 19 and 33, it is concluded that the (re)founder of the monastery was the rebellious prince Bermudo Ordonhes. Both the Asturian type of the east end of the high-medieval basilica, discovered in 1984, and the style of the only surviving sculptural frieze, reminiscent of the art found in the diocese of Coimbra during the 9th century and early 10th century, contribute to support this proposal.
