EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 15th-century illuminated manuscript page, hailing from the Codex of Predis in the Royal Library of Turin, Italy, captures a pivotal moment in Christian history: the discovery of the empty tomb of Jesus Christ by his disciples Peter and John. The news of the Resurrection had reached them, and with haste, they made their way to the tomb, located at the foot of the hill of Calvary where Christ had been crucified. The image, painted in intricate detail, depicts Peter and John in their robes and sandals, both in a state of awe and disbelief as they approach the tomb. The cross, a symbol of Christ's sacrifice, stands prominently in the background. The manuscript, a masterpiece of the Renaissance period, is attributed to Cristoforo di Geremia, also known as Cristoforo Predis. The Codex of Predis is a significant work of medieval art, showcasing the rich history and religious symbolism of the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages. The miniature, with its vivid colors and meticulous detail, offers a glimpse into the deeply held beliefs and practices of the time. The image of Peter and John at the empty tomb is a powerful reminder of the central tenet of the Christian faith: the belief in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It continues to inspire and captivate viewers, offering a window into the past and a connection to the enduring legacy of Christianity.
