Abstract


A grave with an unfinished inscription is what remains today of the burial of Brother Ares de Santa María (1455-1485), abbot of Oseira. Below we provide an explanation as to why the inscription could not be completed, by looking at the documentary information available, as well as considering its artistic and epigraphic qualities.
