EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image showcases Folio 1v of the Bible of Alba or Arragel, a remarkable Castilian translation of the Hebrew Bible, created between 1422 and 1430. Commissioned by Don Luis de Guzmán Gonzalez, Master of the Order of Calatrava, this masterpiece was brought to life by Jewish Rabbi Mose Arragel of Guadalajara. The folio features a letter from the Master (at the top) addressed to Rabbi Arragel, as well as a response from Rabbi Arragel between Arias Encinas, Father Prior of the Monastery of San Francisco de Toledo, and Don Vasco Guzmán, archdeacon of Toledo (at the bottom). The Bible of Alba or Arragel is an exquisite example of Gothic art and miniature painting, with vibrant colors and intricate details. The vertical layout of the folio is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. This significant work was discovered in the Liria Palace in Madrid, Spain, which is now part of the Autonomous Community of Madrid's cultural heritage. The Bible of Alba or Arragel is a unique blend of religious, historical, and artistic importance, showcasing the rich cultural exchange that took place during the medieval period in Spain.
