EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant historical artifact from the 10th century - a parchment document depicting the sale of a vineyard in Osona, Catalonia. The document, dated May 30,911, reveals that Radulf, son of Count Guifre I el Pelos (Wilfred I the Hairy), acquired this valuable piece of land. Preserved within the chapter archive of the cathedral in Ripoll, Spain, this remarkable acquisition sheds light on the rich history and documentation practices during the Middle Ages. The vibrant colors and horizontal composition of this image beautifully capture the essence of this ancient parchment. Its delicate texture and meticulous writing reflect both its age and importance as an invaluable historical record. Within its faded ink lies evidence of transactions between noble families in medieval Catalonia. As we gaze upon this photograph taken by Santiago Ortega with awe-inspiring detail, we are transported back to a time when monasteries held great influence over local affairs. This particular sale signifies not only economic exchanges but also highlights Wilfred I's legacy as "the Hairy" - an influential figure who shaped West Iberian Peninsula history. While little is known about Radulf himself or his motivations for purchasing such prime real estate within Osona County, it is through artifacts like these that we can uncover fragments of our past and gain insights into our ancestors' lives. This print serves as a testament to our collective heritage and reminds us to cherish these glimpses into history's tapestry.
