The purpose of this work is to approach the religious mentality, beliefs and devotions through the study of the iconography applied to the sepulchres of the clergy, which as a whole constitute one of the fundamental sources of knowledge of late medieval spirituality. The choice of the Burgos area is due to the consideration that the most interesting collection in Castile is preserved there, both in terms of quantity and quality, and for this reason, knowledge of it can be useful, and also suggestive for establishing comparisons with other centres of activity in the Peninsula.

Abstract: The purpose of this work is to approach the religious mentality, beliefs and devotions through the study of the iconography applied to the sepulchres of the clergy, which as a whole constitute one of the fundamental sources of knowledge of late medieval spirituality. The choice of the Burgos area is due to the consideration that the most interesting collection in Castile is preserved there, both in terms of quantity and quality, and for this reason, knowledge of it can be useful, and also suggestive for establishing comparisons with other centres of activity in the Peninsula.
