EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment from the biblical story of Exodus. In this scene, priests are seen carrying the revered Ark of the Covenant across the mighty river Jordan. The artwork, created in A. D. 960 by the Spanish School, is part of the Visigothic-Mozarabic Bible of St. Isidore's. The image showcases meticulous detail and vibrant colors that bring to life this ancient event. The Ark, an ornate chest believed to house sacred relics and symbolize God's presence among His people, is carried with great reverence by these priests. The significance of this moment lies in its representation of faith and obedience as the Israelites follow God's commandments on their journey towards freedom and fulfillment of divine promises. As stated in Exodus 16:6, "Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord passes over before you into Jordan". This particular manuscript holds immense historical value as one of medieval Europe's rarest treasures. Completed at Monastery Valeranica on June 19th, 960, it contains both Old and New Testament scriptures along with marginal annotations in Latin and Arabic. Through this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal event that shaped religious history. It serves as a reminder not only of our spiritual heritage but also highlights humanity's enduring quest for meaning and connection with something greater than ourselves.
