Abstract
El ejemplo estudiado refleja la exacerbación del culto mariano bajomedieval, sus connotaciones simbólicas y los recelos que despertó entre los teólogos del momento. A través de la interrelación de los temas de la Virgen Orante, de la Expectación, la Sedes Sapientiae y la Trinidad Trono de Gracia, se ensalzaba la participación de María en la encarnación de la divinidad. Pero al mismo tiempo se inducía a error, pues se hacía creer a los fieles que la Trinidad al completo había tomado carne humana en María, cuando en realidad había sido sólo el Verbo. Los prejuicios teológicos se sucedieron hasta 1745, fecha en que el papa Benedicto XIV promulgó una bula condenatoria.
The studied example shows the increase of Marian worship in the Late Middle Ages, its symbolic connotations and contemporary theological concerns. Through the connection of the iconographies of Praying Virgin, Our Lady of Expectation, Sedes Sapientiae, and the «Throne of Grace» Trinity, it was praised Mary whose role was essential for divinity’s Incarnation. However, that superposition of subjects could lead to error since Christian congregation was made to believe that the complete Trinity became incarnate in Mary, despite of the fact that it was only the Son who did it. The theological concerns continued until 1745, when the pope Benedict XIV promulgated a condemning bull.
