EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the opening page of the Book of Genesis, taken from the Visigothic-Mozarabic Bible of St. Isidore's, dating back to A. D. 960. The intricate capital letter 'I' at the beginning of the Bible immediately draws attention and sets a tone of grandeur for what lies within its pages. Created by Spanish artists in the 10th century, this masterpiece is housed in the Archivo Capitular de la Real Colegiata de San Isidoro in Leon, Spain. Known as Biblia de Leon, it is considered one of the rarest medieval manuscripts ever discovered. The completion date of this Mozarabic bible holds historical significance - June 19,960 - marking an important milestone achieved at the Monastery of Valeranica. Notably, we have records that mention Florencio as the miniaturist and Sancho as the calligrapher involved in its creation. Containing all books from both Old and New Testaments, this biblical treasure also features marginal annotations written in Latin and Arabic languages. Its illuminated illustrations reflect elements inspired by Gothic art intertwined with Visigothic influences. As we gaze upon this remarkable print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back through time to witness not only a visually stunning work but also a testament to human dedication and craftsmanship that has stood strong for centuries.
