EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment - the Assembly Pau i Treva held in Tortosa on April 28,1225. Presided over by King Jaime I The Conqueror, this assembly brought together nobles and ecclesiastics to discuss important matters of state. Surrounding the monarch, we see a diverse group of individuals dressed in their finest civilian clothes and religious garments. The focal point of the gathering was an agreement reached to launch a crusade against the Saracens of Peniscola later that year. This decision is depicted in exquisite detail within the miniature found in the Llibre Verd (Green Book), a precious codex containing customs and privileges specific to Barcelona. Illuminated by talented miniaturists Arnau de Pena and Mateu Caldero, this manuscript showcases their mastery of Gothic writing. The image reveals not only the hierarchy present at such assemblies but also provides insight into royal attributes during that era. King Jaime I sits upon his majestic throne adorned with symbols of power - crown and scepter - while wearing regal attire befitting his status as monarch. As we delve into Spain's rich history, this photograph offers us glimpses into medieval society: its preferences, religious fervor, and political alliances. Preserved within municipal archives for centuries, it serves as a testament to our shared heritage and reminds us of past struggles for peace amidst regional conflicts.
