Abstract

This paper focuses on the Black Book, the famous cartulary of Coimbra cathedral, founded in the 12th century on the orders of bishop D. Miguel Salomão (1162-1176). This book is analysed from the perspective of codicology and of its structure, the copyists that shaped it and the exactness of its reproductions, thus enabling us to understand better the reasons which lead to its implementation and the type of work that was carried out in the 12th century scriptorium of this cathedral.
