EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Vidal Mayor manuscript, created by the talented Vidal Canellas and copied by Michael Lupi de Candiu between 1290 and 1310. Housed in the esteemed J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA, this exquisite piece measures 36.5x24 cm and belongs to the Catalan School of art from the 13th century. The manuscript itself holds immense historical significance as it was authored by Vidal de Canellas, who served as Bishop of Huesca during his lifetime (c. 1190-c. 1252). Notably, he codified the laws of Jaume I of Aragon (1208-1276), making this document an essential legal text for scholars studying medieval Spanish law. The illuminated script featured on this vellum page transports viewers back in time to a period when royal power reigned supreme. The intricate details depict a regal crown, mitre, throne, sword, knight's shield and spear - all symbols associated with kingship and chivalry. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork further, we are reminded that behind every legal document lies countless clients seeking justice or protection under these very laws. This photograph offers us a glimpse into Catalonia's rich history while also highlighting its cultural heritage through references to fueros - regional charters granting special privileges. With its impeccable craftsmanship and historical significance intertwined within each stroke of ink on vellum parchment, this image is truly a testament
