Church Notes: 12thC church -- The inscription on the portal of this church is studied in James D'Emilio's 'Inscriptions and the Romanesque Church: Patrons, Prelates, and Craftsmen in Romanesque Galicia', Spanish Medieval Art: Recent Studies, edited by Colum Hourihane (Tempe: ACMRS, 2007) [http://demilio.myweb.usf.edu/Articles/Demilio_inscriptions.pdf] [accessed 29 December 2019]: "The cruder execution of the west tympanum of the modest church of Santa María de Taboada dos Freires did not discourage its authors from touting their work. A text naming the sculptor, Pelagivs magister, and its author, Iohane q(vi) notvit, crowds the irregular space above the lobed arch framing figures of Samson and the lion (Fig. 2). Below it, a heavily abbreviated notice of the consecration — difficult to decipher — begins, oddly, in the lower of two regularly spaced horizontal lines, forming a lintel. On the underside, the date, ERA MCCXXVIII (1190 A.D.), is deeply cut in monumental letters." This text is footnoted: "In 1935, the removal of plaster revealed the inscriptions. Diverse readings have been published: J. Ramón y Fernández Oxea, "Pelagio, maestro románico,” Archivo Español de Arte y Arqueología 12 (1936): 171-76; idem,, Santa María de Taboada dos Freires,” Boletín de la Comisión Provincial de Monumentos Históricos y Artísticos de Orense15 (1945): 16-21; F. Vázquez Saco, "Iglesias románicas de la provincia de Lugo, papeleta 153" Iglesia parroquial de Santa María de Taboada dos Freires,” Boletín de la Comisión Provincial de Monumentos Histórico-Artísticos de Lugo 6 (1956-1957): 161-65."
