EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page and first page of a manuscript of the Ordenamiento de Alcala, created by the Spanish School in the 14th century. Preserved in the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid, Spain, this vellum manuscript holds great historical significance. The image transports us back to medieval times, where we can witness the intricate details that adorn this legal document. The script is beautifully written in Castilian, reflecting its importance as a collection of 58 laws enacted by Alfonso XI's courts in Alcala de Henares in 1348. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to an impressive castle depicted on the title page. Its towering presence symbolizes strength and power while evoking images of fairy tales and royal dwellings. A majestic lion stands proudly beside it, representing courage and nobility. The illuminated shield at the top further emphasizes its legal nature with its intricate design and heraldic symbols. This manuscript truly captures both artistic beauty and legal authority within its pages. As we delve into history through this photograph, we are reminded of Spain's rich cultural heritage and its significant contributions to European law during medieval times. It serves as a testament to how manuscripts like these were not only functional but also works of art that have stood the test of time.
