Abstract

This article reviews some problems about the literary production of bishop Pelagius of Oviedo. Firstly, it tries to prove the existence, not generally accepted, of a scriptorium in the Oviedo cathedral, where the Liber Testamentorum and several versions of the Corpus pelagianum were written and illuminated. Secondly, it studies the role played by Pelagius's works in the constructive process of diocesan memory. Lastly, it tries to explain how historical and diplomatic texts, linked to their miniatures, updated the old sumptuary objects preserved in Oviedo from the time of the Asturian Kingdom.
