This book is one of the Provincial Archaeology Museum of Ourense's many publications and reviews in great detail a Romanesque monastery situated in Melón, a small village in the province of Ourense (Galicia, Spain). The terminology used in this book is particularly specialized, which means it implied an enormous documentation job. I was in charge of the translation from Spanish into Galician.
