EDITORS COMMENTS
This 9th-century miniature print, titled "Zoroaster or Zarathustra consulting oracles" takes us back in time to witness a profound moment of divination. The artwork, created by the German School, is part of the Archivio dell Abbazia collection in Montecassino, Italy. In this scene, Zoroaster (also known as Zarathustra), the esteemed prophet and founder of Zoroastrianism, seeks guidance from two mystical oracles. With his hands clasped together and an expression of deep contemplation on his face, Zoroaster appears engrossed in conversation with these divine sources. The intricate details and vibrant colors used in this illuminated manuscript bring life to the ancient practice of augury. As we gaze upon this masterpiece by Luisa Ricciarini, we are transported into a world where religion and spirituality intertwine seamlessly with art. This artwork not only showcases the talent and skill of its creator but also serves as a window into the beliefs and practices prevalent during the Middle Ages. It reminds us that throughout history, humans have sought answers beyond their own understanding through various means. Let this mesmerizing image remind us of our shared human quest for knowledge and enlightenment across different cultures and eras.
