EDITORS COMMENTS

This print showcases the Catalan Atlas, a remarkable 14th-century masterpiece created by Abraham Cresques, a Jewish cartographer. Commissioned by the rulers of the Kingdom of Aragon in Spain, this six-page atlas was meticulously crafted on vellum and offers profound insights into cosmography and geography. In this particular page of the atlas, we are presented with an intricate depiction of our solar system. The five known planets at that time (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn), along with the Moon and Sun, gracefully orbit around Earth. Surrounding this celestial dance are details such as the zodiac signs, moon phases, calendars representing different seasons - spring to winter - all inscribed in Catalan. Although this version is a facsimile produced in 1959 by Spanish scholars Joan Vernet and David Romano, it faithfully captures every detail from the original work. The pages have been exquisitely illuminated by hand using vibrant colors and delicate gold leaf accents. The Catalan Atlas serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with both geographical exploration and astronomical understanding during medieval times. It represents an invaluable piece of history that not only reflects Catalonia's rich cultural heritage but also provides valuable insights into how people perceived their place within the cosmos centuries ago.
