Abstract
Este artículo trata de contextualizar el epitaphium sepulcrale de Fernando III, conservado en la capilla real de la catedral de Sevilla, en la producción epigráfica promovida por Alfonso X el Sabio a lo largo de su reinado. Para ello, se analizan las particularidades de un conjunto de inscripciones monumentales hispalenses, advirtiéndose ciertas analogías ornamentales y paleográficas con el monumentum aedificationis de las atarazanas reales erigidas por Alfonso X hacia 1252. En la producción epigráfica alfonsí se evidencian recurrentes y elaborados mensajes ideológicos que tuvieron como denominador común la proyección de una determinada imago regis, transformándose el epígrafe en un instrumento propagandístico más al servicio de los intereses del soberano.
This article attempts to contextualise the epitaphium sepulcrale of Fernando III, preserved in the royal chapel of Seville Cathedral, in the epigraphic production promoted by Alfonso X throughout his reign. To this end, we analyse the particularities of a set of monumental inscriptions from Seville, noting certain ornamental and palaeographic analogies with the monumentum aedificationis of the royal shipyards erected by Alfonso X around 1252. In alphonsine epigraphic production, recurrent and elaborate ideological messages are evident, the common denominator of which was the projection of a specific imago regis, transforming the epigraph into yet another propagandistic instrument at the service of the sovereign's interests.
