Modelli impaginativi tra Longobardi e Carolingi
Abstract
Between the end of the eighth century and the first half of the ninth century the text layout in the Lombard inscriptions which were expression of the elite undergoes a transformation. The funeral poems that originally were of short extension become larger, the extension of the text being adapted to a horizontal layout divided into two columns. This could be possibly due to their placement at the burials. The comparative study between the width of the inscriptions and Lombard funerary monuments – e.g. the burial arcosolium for the Queen Ansa in the church of San Salvatore in Brescia – suggests the parietal location of the slabs in the tomb arcosolium above the burials.
