EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Virgin Mary with Infant Jesus: A 14th Century Spanish Miniature from the Missale Dominicale cum Kalendario (Codex 135)" This exquisite miniature, dating from the 14th century, is a captivating depiction of the Virgin Mary cradling the infant Jesus. The image is taken from the Missale Dominicale cum Kalendario (Codex 135), housed in the Chapter Archive of Tarazona, Spain. The miniature is located on folio 148v and is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of medieval Spain. The scene is rendered in intricate detail, with the Virgin Mary shown in profile, her face serene and expressive, her hands gently supporting the young Christ. The infant Jesus, dressed in swaddling clothes, gazes up at his mother with an air of innocence and divine wisdom. The lettering surrounding the image is written in black ink and is typical of the calligraphy found in Spanish Bibles of the period. The open page reveals the text of the Missale Dominicale, which contains the liturgical readings and instructions for the celebration of the Mass. The use of vibrant red and gold pigments adds depth and richness to the image, making it a stunning example of the illuminated manuscript tradition in medieval Spain. The scene of the Virgin Mary and infant Jesus is a common one in Christian art, reflecting the central role of the mother and son in the New Testament and the broader Christian tradition. This miniature is a precious reminder of the artistic and religious traditions of medieval Spain, and a testament to the enduring power of the image of the Virgin Mary and infant Jesus in Christian art and literature.
