The article publishes, and gives a new reading of, the carved inscription over the fronton of the north portal in St. George cathedral in Yuryev-Polsky. The rectified reading, the analysis of the inscription’s structure and the paleographic and technological characteristics confirm G.K. Vagner’s hypothesis that the inscription is the signature of a carver, possibly that of the general foreman.
