EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork found in MS 300 f. 207v-208r, Suffrage to Virgins and Suffrage to All Saints. Created by the French School in the 13th century, this piece is a true testament to medieval gothic illumination. Measuring at 19x14.1 cm, this royal manuscript from the Psalter and Hours of Isabella of France is housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge in the UK. The intricate details are brought to life through pen & ink and tempera on parchment. On folio 207v, we witness five virgin martyrs holding palms, including a nun adorned in a brown habit. This suffrage to virgins symbolizes their devotion and sacrifice for their faith. Moving onto folio 208r, we are greeted with a suffrage to all saints depicted across two tiers. Amongst these revered figures stands the Virgin Mary herself alongside what appears to be St Peter or possibly even a pope. The illuminated initials add an extra layer of grandeur with their vibrant blue, red, and gold hues. The entire composition feels inhabited by spirituality as it captures moments of deep religious significance. This print not only serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts but also offers insight into medieval Christian beliefs and practices surrounding martyrdom and veneration of saints. It is truly an awe-inspiring piece that transports us back in time while reminding us of the enduring power faith holds throughout history.
