EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the "Gospel Lectionary" from around 1218. The focal point is an exquisite illumination depicting "The Last Supper" found within a Jacobite gospel lectionary dating back to the years 1216-1220 in Syriac. The image transports us back to early Christianity, capturing the essence of this significant event in vivid detail. Jesus sits at the center of a long table surrounded by his disciples, their expressions reflecting both reverence and anticipation. Each figure is meticulously painted with delicate brushstrokes, bringing them to life on the page. A golden halo encircles Jesus' head, symbolizing his divinity and sacredness. His presence radiates warmth and compassion as he shares bread and wine with those gathered around him. The artist's skillful use of color and light adds depth to the scene, enhancing its emotional impact. Beyond its artistic merits, this manuscript illumination also offers insights into ancient calligraphy practices. The handwriting displayed throughout demonstrates meticulous precision and attention to detail—a testament to the dedication of scribes who painstakingly transcribed religious texts during that era. This print serves as a window into an important chapter in Christian history while celebrating both artistic mastery and cultural heritage. It invites viewers to reflect upon the enduring power of faith and spirituality across centuries while appreciating the beauty inherent in illuminated manuscripts like this Gospel Lectionary from c1218.
