• Resumen

  • The Spanish contribution to the textual and iconographical tradition was of special significance. On the one hand, the description of the Months in book V of the Saint Isidore's Etymologies, derived from Ancient World, was copied repeatly in the European scriptoria and helped to create two themes of the calendar's iconography: Janus bifrons and the Spinario. On the other hand, the library of the benedictine abbey of Ripoll, a crossroad in the calendar's culture, kept until the end of the Twelfth Century a manuscript -Vat. Reg. Lat. 123, dated of 1055- with echoes of the filocalian recension and with a poem dedicated to the Months and related to carolingian compositions.

    This text also helped to understand some peculiarities of the series of Months of Gerona and Ripoll.
