EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene from the Visigothic-Mozarabic Bible of St. Isidore, dating back to the 10th century. The image depicts Abraham on the verge of sacrificing his beloved son, Isaac, as commanded by God in a test of faith. Painted with tempera on vellum by an anonymous Spanish artist from the time period, this piece is part of one of the rarest medieval manuscripts known as Biblia de Leon. The manuscript's completion can be precisely dated to June 19,960 at the Monastery of Valeranica and bears witness to meticulous craftsmanship. The names of its copyists - Florencio and Sancho - along with the miniaturist are recorded within its pages. This extraordinary bible contains all books from both Old and New Testaments and features marginal annotations in Latin and Arabic. The illuminated detail captures our attention through intricate Gothic artistry that brings this biblical narrative to life. It serves as a testament to religious devotion during that era while also highlighting cultural exchanges between Christian Spain and Islamic influences present at that time. Preserved within Archivo Capitular de la Real Colegiata de San Isidoro in Leon, Spain, this photograph print allows us a glimpse into history's rich tapestry where faith intersects with artistry. Its significance lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its ability to evoke contemplation about sacrifice, obedience, and unwavering trust amidst divine tests – themes still
