EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 13th century miniature, found on Folio 64 of a Doctrine Chretienne manuscript housed in the University of Valencia Library in Spain, portrays the iconic scene of Noah's Ark. Dating back to the Middle Ages in France, this manuscript is a testament to the rich artistic and literary heritage of European Christianity during this period. The miniature meticulously captures the biblical narrative of Noah and his family, along with a pair from every animal species, boarding the ark to escape the impending flood sent by God. The intricate details of the animals, their varied postures, and the human figures are rendered with remarkable precision and artistry. The capital letters adorning the page frame the scene, emphasizing its importance within the text. The Ark, a symbol of salvation and divine intervention, is depicted as a sturdy, well-constructed ship, with a couple of men working diligently to load the animals aboard. The calm expression on Noah's face and the serene demeanor of his family members convey their unwavering faith in God's plan. This miniature is an invaluable piece of medieval art and literature, offering a glimpse into the religious beliefs and artistic sensibilities of the time. Its preservation in the University of Valencia Library ensures that future generations can continue to appreciate and learn from this fascinating piece of European history.
