EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite MS 300 f. 281r, a collection of collects, sermons, and lessons for the Assumption from the Psalter and Hours of Isabella of France. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 13th century, this piece measures 19x14.1 cm and is currently housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. The focal point of this artwork is folio 281r, where we witness a poignant scene depicting the Death and Assumption of the Virgin Mary. In stunning detail rendered with pen & ink and tempera on parchment, we see Mary lying on her death bed below while simultaneously ascending to heaven above. This momentous event is surrounded by intricate illuminations that enhance its spiritual significance. As we explore this medieval masterpiece further, we encounter various elements that highlight its religious nature. The manuscript features prayers, sermons, and lessons related to the Assumption - a significant event in Christian theology - symbolizing faith and spirituality. Noteworthy figures such as St. Mary (the Madonna) are depicted throughout alongside other saints who play integral roles in Christian tradition. The initial letters are beautifully adorned with intricate designs inhabited by tiny figures that add depth to each page. This remarkable print not only captures an important historical artifact but also invites us into a world filled with devotion and reverence for religious themes prevalent during medieval times.
