EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Annunciation to Mary and the Genealogy of Jesus" from the Visigothic-Mozarabic Bible, a rare and precious medieval manuscript. Created by the Spanish School in the 10th century, this tempera on vellum artwork is housed in the Archivo Capitular de la Real Colegiata de San Isidoro in Leon, Spain. The image depicts an angelic figure appearing before Mary, delivering news of her divine destiny as the mother of Jesus Christ. The intricate details and vibrant colors illuminate this significant moment in biblical history. Surrounding this central scene are beautifully rendered genealogical lines that trace Jesus' lineage back through generations. Considered one of the most exceptional manuscripts from its time, this Mozarabic bible was completed on June 19,960 at the Monastery of Valeranica. It bears witness to meticulous craftsmanship with recorded names of copyists such as Florencio and miniaturist Sancho. Notably, this bible contains all books from both Old and New Testaments with marginal annotations in Latin and Arabic languages.
