Abstract
The paper analyses the role that mineral objects and stones, described in medieval sources as votive offerings, play in the construction of a significant world. To do this, it evaluates the relationship that they establish, in the miraculous context, with the devotees, which configures them in a rank of entity equivalent or superior to that of the properly human due to the purpose and the way in which each actant uses them, and especially by the sensory aspect that defines such contacts allowing us to recognize specific characteristics of a sensorium that we qualify as devotional. El artículo analiza el papel que los objetos minerales y las piedras, descriptos en las fuentes medievales con valor de exvotos, desempeñan en la construcción de un mundo significante. Para ello evalúa la relación que establecen, en el contexto milagroso, con los devotos, la que los configura en un rango de entidad equivalente o superior al propiamente humano por la finalidad y la forma en que cada actante se vale de ellos, y en especial por el cariz sensorial que define a tales contactos, lo cual nos permite reconocer características específicas de un sensorium que calificamos como devocional.
