Fol. 435v, Romans, historiated initial P, Paul seated with a sword talking to the bust of God
Fol. 435v, Romans, historiated initial P, Paul seated with a sword talking to the bust of God above, c. 1275-1300. Biblical manuscripts were highly prized and important possessions of churches, monasteries, cathedral schools, and universities throughout medieval Europe. The biblical texts were known as the vulgate, the translations made by Saint Jerome in the fourth century from Hebrew and Greek into Latin, which became the definitive and official Latin version of the Roman Church. In the 13th century, the bible was, for the first time, produced as a single volume with an officially sanctioned sequence to its books and chapters as illustrated by this example. The very extensive decoration of this bible is arranged hierarchically to indicate the relative importance of the various texts so that full or almost full-page initials mark the openings of the first prologue, Genesis, and the first Gospel; historiated initials mark the beginning of each book and illuminated initials mark the Prologues

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fol. 435v, Romans, historiated initial P" transports us back to the medieval era when biblical manuscripts held immense significance. Created between 1275 and 1300, this particular image showcases Paul seated with a sword while engaging in conversation with the bust of God above him. During medieval times, biblical manuscripts were highly prized possessions cherished by churches, monasteries, cathedral schools, and universities across Europe. These manuscripts contained the vulgate texts - Saint Jerome's translations from Hebrew and Greek into Latin - which became the official version for the Roman Church. What sets this example apart is that it represents one of the first single-volume bibles produced with an officially sanctioned sequence for its books and chapters. The extensive decoration within this bible follows a hierarchical arrangement to highlight the relative importance of different texts. Notably, full or almost full-page initials mark significant openings like Genesis and the first Gospel; historiated initials denote each book's beginning; while illuminated initials adorn the Prologues. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly remarkable as it captures both religious devotion and artistic finesse. As we admire this print by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, let us appreciate how these ancient manuscripts continue to provide insights into our shared history and spiritual heritage.
