EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable moment in history captured within the pages of the Visigothic-Mozarabic Bible. The scene depicts David, an iconic biblical figure, being proclaimed king before the people of Juda. Created by Spanish artists in the 10th century, this tempera on vellum artwork is part of the esteemed Biblia de Leon collection. Considered one of the rarest medieval manuscripts, this particular Bible holds immense historical significance. Its completion date can be precisely traced back to June 19,960 at the Monastery of Valeranica. Notably, it also reveals valuable information about its creators: Florencio as the miniaturist and Sancho as the calligrapher. The illuminated details and Gothic style showcased in this image further enhance its allure. Every stroke and color choice brings life to David's coronation scene while capturing viewers' attention with intricate beauty. What sets this manuscript apart are its marginal annotations written both in Latin and Arabic—a testament to cultural diversity during that time period. This unique blend adds another layer of depth to an already extraordinary piece. Preserved at Archivo Capitular de la Real Colegiata de San Isidoro in Leon, Spain, this photograph print allows us to appreciate not only religious art but also a significant era in European history where faith and artistic expression intertwined harmoniously.
