EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare manuscript illumination from the mid-14th century, depicting the Zodiac sign Libra. Created by Polish artisans, this exquisite piece was originally part of Al-Sufi's Book of Fixed Stars, written in Arabic around 964 AD. The intricate details and vibrant colors used in this artwork demonstrate the skill and craftsmanship of medieval illuminators. The image portrays the symbol of Libra, represented by scales that signify balance and harmony. This celestial constellation holds great significance in astrology and is associated with justice, diplomacy, and partnership. It serves as a reminder to find equilibrium within ourselves and our relationships. The fusion of Polish artistry with Arabic script creates a unique blend of cultures from different corners of the world during this period. The manuscript illumination not only captures the beauty of Libra but also reflects the rich history and exchange between civilizations.
