EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of profound spirituality and divine intervention. Titled "Ms Lat. Q. v. I. 126 f. 112 The Eucharist, from the Book of Hours of Louis d'Orleans" it is an illuminated manuscript created by Jean Colombe in 1469. The scene depicted here is the Mass at Bolsena in 1263, a significant event in Catholic history. A priest kneels before an altar, his hands raised as he holds the sacred host during the act of transubstantiation - when bread and wine are believed to become the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Intriguingly, a doubting monk named Peter of Prague witnesses this miracle firsthand. As he doubts the doctrine of transubstantiation, drops of blood miraculously appear on the host and spill onto a white cloth known as Veronica's Veil. The composition exudes medieval charm with its intricate details and vibrant colors that bring life to every element – from ornate vestments to religious icons adorning the walls. This image not only celebrates faith but also showcases Colombe's exceptional talent as an illuminator. Preserved within National Library St Petersburg Russia, this masterpiece continues to inspire awe for its artistic brilliance and spiritual significance. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our own beliefs and invited to reflect on the power and mystery surrounding one of Christianity's most sacred sacraments – communion with God through partaking in His body and blood.
