EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 15th-century illuminated manuscript page, hailing from the Codex of Predis housed in the Royal Library of Turin, Italy, captures a pivotal moment in Christian history: Pontius Pilate's fateful question to the Jews. The Roman prefect, depicted in regal attire and seated on his ornate throne, holds a lance in one hand and a scroll in the other, while a group of anxious-looking Jews and soldiers gather around him. The central focus, however, is on the two imprisoned men behind Pilate: Jesus Christ, wearing a crown of thorns and bearing the signs of his brutal scourging, and Barabbas, a notorious thief. With a stern expression, Pilate asks the Jews which man they prefer to be released, igniting a tumultuous response from the crowd. This powerful and intricately detailed miniature, created during the Renaissance period, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history of Catholicism and the Middle Ages.
