reformulation that the cathedral underwent and that bestowed it with the shape and projection it still presents today; without forgetting the period in its recent history marked by the interventions of the National Board of Buildings and Monuments (DGEMN) and the technical restoration approaches that the cathedral underwent along the twentieth century. All these themes are now based and developed within the various chapters by the following authors: Maria do Rosário Barbosa Morujão (Univ. of Coimbra), Eduardo Carrero Santamaría (Univ. Autónoma of Barcelona), José Pedro Paiva (Univ. of Coimbra), Pedro Flor (Open Univ.), António Filipe Pimentel (Univ. of Coimbra), Nuno Resende (Univ. of Porto), Duarte Frias (Univ. of Coimbra), Maria Lúcia Cardoso Rosas (Univ. of Porto), and Joaquim Inácio Caetano (Company Mural da História). Allowing readers to assess the work for themselves, we would nevertheless like to thank Dr. Alexandra Braga, who was with us from the first moment and who shared the effort put into making this project possible, with recognised competence, unconditional dedication and a high sense of public service. This acknowledgement is extended to the Lamego Museum as the institution that promoted this work, namely its former director, Dr. Agostinho Ribeiro and its current director, Doctor Luís Sebastían, for the way they always welcomed and created the necessary conditions for this project to be successful. Finally, we would also like to thank the Centre for Religious History Studies of the Catholic University of Portugal and its board, namely its director, Professor Doctor António Matos Ferreira, for recognising from the beginning the scientific quality and the reach of this publishing project, honouring the coordinator and the authors with the inclusion of this book in the prestigious list of its publications.
