EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illuminated manuscript, known as the Green Book of the Privileges of the City of Barcelona, dates back to the 14th century. Illuminated by the renowned Catalan artist Arnau Penna, the book is a testament to the feudal system that governed Europe during this period. The image captures a vassal's oath of fealty, a crucial aspect of the feudal contract between a lord and his subject. The vassal, dressed in medieval attire, is depicted kneeling before the king, who is seated on a throne. The king extends his hand towards the vassal, who touches it with his lips, symbolizing the pledge of loyalty and obedience. The green color of the book's cover represents the House of Barcelona, the ruling dynasty of the region. The Green Book of the Privileges of the City of Barcelona is an essential historical document, providing insights into the social, political, and cultural aspects of medieval Catalonia. It also showcases the beauty and intricacy of Gothic illumination, with its vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and gold accents. This copy of the Green Book, with its exquisite illustrations, is a reminder of the complex feudal system that once governed Europe and the importance of loyalty and fealty in medieval society. The image of the king and vassal's oath-taking ceremony is a powerful symbol of the bond between ruler and subject, a bond that was crucial for maintaining order and stability in the Middle Ages.
