EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning medieval artwork titled "Ms Hunter 229 f. 17v an Angel holding a vacant scroll and presenting a palm to the Blessed Virgin, below, the Virgin showing the palm to S. John and other Apostles". Created by an anonymous English artist in the 12th century, this piece is part of the renowned Hunterian Psalter collection housed at Glasgow University Library in Scotland. The image depicts an angel gracefully offering a blank scroll to the Blessed Virgin Mary while presenting her with a palm branch. Below them, Mary shares this symbolic gesture with Saint John and other apostles. The intricate pen and ink details combined with tempera on vellum create a mesmerizing effect that transports viewers back in time. The manuscript itself contains various religious texts such as Kalendarivm, Psalterivm, Litania, Preces Qvaedam, making it not only visually striking but also spiritually significant. Previously known as York Psalter before being renamed Hunterian Psalter after its acquisition by Glasgow University Library, it features meticulously written script alongside thirteen full-page pictures adorned with gilt illuminations. This remarkable miniature serves as both a testament to medieval artistry and devotion to Christianity. It beautifully captures moments from the life of the Virgin Mary while showcasing elements of liturgical practices during that era. With its delicate beauty preserved through time, this artwork continues to inspire awe and reverence for centuries-old religious traditions.
