EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Juan Alvaro Zapata (1552-1623): A Devoted Spanish Cistercian Monk and Abbot of Veruela, Depicted in a 16th-Century Print" This evocative print captures the image of Juan Alvaro Zapata (1552-1623), a remarkable Spanish Cistercian monk and Abbot of Veruela, during the 16th century. The print, titled "Vida, Penitencia i Milagros de Nuestra Gloriosisimo Padre San Bernardo" (The Life, Penance, and Miracles of Our Glorious Father Saint Bernard), was published in Zaragoza, Spain, in 1595. The image is now part of the esteemed Episcopal Library in Barcelona, Catalonia. Juan Alvaro Zapata dedicated his life to the Cistercian Order, a monastic tradition founded in the 11th century that emphasized a return to the original spirit of the Benedictine Rule. The order's members lived in communities called monasteries, following a strict rule of prayer, work, and self-denial. The print portrays Zapata in contemplative prayer, reflecting his deep commitment to the spiritual life. As Abbot of Veruela, he led his monastic community with wisdom and compassion, fostering an environment that nurtured both the spiritual and intellectual growth of its members. The title of the print refers to Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153), the founder of the Cistercian Order. Zapata's work, like this print, contributed to the dissemination of the life, penance, and miracles of this revered saint. This historical print offers a glimpse into the rich religious and literary heritage of Europe during the 16th century. It serves as a testament to the enduring influence of the Cistercian Order and the profound impact of its members on the spiritual and intellectual landscape of their time.
