EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the grandeur and majesty of the 13th century, as depicted in two rare medieval artifacts: a Jewish prayerbook and a parchment prayerbook, both housed in the Leipzig University Library. The scene is dominated by a regal procession of a king and his noble knights, charging boldly on horseback, their armor glinting in the sun. Their intricately designed costumes, complete with flowing capes, conical helmets, and shields, exude an aura of power and prestige. In the background, three gallant knights stand guard over the tomb of Jesus Christ, their swords at the ready. The tomb, adorned with ornate carvings and a cross, is surrounded by a group of reverent figures, including a priest, a rabbi, and several attendants, all in prayerful contemplation. This stunning illustration was created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. The image was lithographed by C.R. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck in 1889 as part of his comprehensive work, "Hefner-Altenecks Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century." This meticulously crafted reproduction offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich tapestry of medieval life, allowing us to marvel at the artistry and craftsmanship of the past.
