The present study sets out to identifiy and then comment on the various examples of inscriptions to be found in two thirteenth century anonimous texts, the Libro de Alexandre and the Libro de Apolonio. Both texts make repeated use of epigraphs carved in stone, wood or diverse metals at key moments in the lifes of alexander the Great and Apollonius of Tyre. This analysis of literary inscriptions, taht reiterates the practice of medieval epigraph writing, will serve to allow us to understand with greater clarity the attitude expressed by both poets as regards the use of such inscriptions and to suggest the respective contexts of reception of the Libro de Alexandre and the Libro de Apolonio.
