EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 14th century miniature, taken from Folio 129v of the Missale Dominicale cum Kalendario (Codex 135), housed in the Archive of Tarazona, Spain, depicts the Dormition or the falling asleep of the Virgin Mary. The scene is a poignant representation of the moment when Mary's spirit leaves her earthly body and ascends to heaven, surrounded by angels and the apostles. The black lettering in the capital 'D' at the beginning of the text on the open page adds a sense of solemnity and importance to the image. The rich red background and intricate details of the figures and their robes showcase the exceptional artistry of the medieval manuscript illuminators. This miniature is a testament to the deep religious faith and devotion of the people of the Aragon province during the Middle Ages, as depicted in their religious texts. The Dormition of the Virgin Mary is a significant event in the New Testament, recounted in the apocryphal Book of Revelation, and is celebrated by Christians around the world as a symbol of the hope of resurrection and eternal life.
