ABSTRACT
The artistic chapter which the virtually unknown Gregorius seems to have inspired at Sant Miquel de Cuixa, with its poorly defined parameters, looks as rich as it is interesting. Oliba Cabreta was the addressee of the valuable and well-known text written by the monk Garsies of Cuixa between 1043 and 1046 which, among other things, describes the architectural patronage of Guarinus and Oliba in considerable detail. The existence of two fonts at Aurillac parallels Cuixa and supports the proposition that at the Catalan abbey too, one of lavers stood in front of the abbot's residence. In Cuixa it seems likely that Gregorius undertook an extensive refurnishing of the church which involved a choral tribune, a chair and quite possibly a mosaic pavement. Gregorius undertook a renovation that was materially and ideologically inspired by Rome. Gregorius died in 1146, exactly one hundred years after Oliba.
