EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 13th century miniature, housed in the Vatican Apostolic Library, captures the profound moment of the Apostle James and St. Luke engrossed in the sacred task of writing the New Testament. The image, a testament to the rich artistic and religious heritage of the Middle Ages, offers a glimpse into the world of early Christian scholarship. James, one of the twelve apostles and the brother of Jesus, sits to the left, dressed in the robes of a bishop. His venerable age and wisdom are evident in his furrowed brow and the gray in his beard. He holds a pen in his hand, poised above parchment, ready to commit the divine words to paper. To his right, St. Luke, the Evangelist and physician, is depicted in the act of writing. His attire, that of a scholar, includes a long tunic and a cloak draped over his shoulders. He gazes intently at the page before him, his focus unwavering as he records the life and teachings of Jesus. The image is a reminder of the pivotal role these two figures played in the transmission of the Christian faith. James, as the leader of the Church in Jerusalem, and Luke, as the author of the Gospel bearing his name, were instrumental in preserving and disseminating the New Testament. This miniature, with its intricate details and vivid colors, invites us to reflect on the enduring power of the written word and the profound impact of the New Testament on the history of Christianity. It is a reminder of the deep connection between faith and learning, and the importance of preserving the rich heritage of our religious traditions.
