The Man Who Wrote Them
The team found out that the scrolls go all the way back to 1777. They were written by a former chaplain of the church by the name of Joaquin Minguez. He wrote about the culture of the area during the creation of the statute. He named Manuel Bal as its sculptor and talked about the politics and economy of Spain in those days. Aside from that, he also discussed his everyday life and what it was like to be alive back then. Ramirez and her colleague stayed together as they learned more about this man.
