EDITORS COMMENTS
1. In the heart of the Middle Aages, during the 12th and 13th centuries, the Codex Missal Vetus Oxemense, an anonymous masterpiece of Spanish art, came to life. This exquisite parchment manuscript, now preserved in the Archivo Capitular and Diocesano de Oviedo in Spain, is a testament to the rich artistic and religious heritage of the time. 2. The Missal Vetus Oxemense is a liturgical text used by Catholic priests for the celebration of the Mass. Its ornate drop cap, depicting the Descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, is a visual feast for the eyes. The scene unfolds as the Holy Spirit, in the form of tongues of fire, descends upon the Apostles, represented by the twelve figures gathered around the central Christ figure. 3. The Pentecost, a significant event in Christian history, marks the birth of the Christian Church. According to the New Testament, the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles, empowering them to spread the word of God and fulfill Christ's mission on earth. 4. The drop cap, a common feature in medieval manuscripts, serves both a decorative and functional purpose. In this case, it adds a visual element to the text, making the liturgy more engaging and memorable for the priests and the congregation. 5. The Romanesque style, characterized by its bold geometric shapes and vibrant colors, is evident in the intricate details of the drop cap. The use of gold leaf and bright pigments adds to the opulence and grandeur of the manuscript. 6. The Codex Missal Vetus Oxemense is a precious relic of the past, a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Catholicism and the Middle Ages. Its intricate illustrations and ornate script continue to inspire awe and admiration, making it a treasure for scholars, art historians, and anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the Middle Ages.
