EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the "Specimen of the Wurtzburg Missal" which was written around 1470 or 1480. Created by an anonymous German artist from the 15th century, this color lithograph beautifully captures the essence of this medieval manuscript. The Wurtzburg Missal, also known as Missale Herbipolense, holds great significance in religious and artistic realms. Printed by Georg Reyser in 1484, it is a testament to exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. The book's black woodcut cover adds a touch of elegance while hinting at its ancient origins. Within its pages lies a world filled with liturgical texts adorned with vibrant red illuminations. The intricate calligraphy transports us back in time when every stroke was carefully crafted on velvety vellum parchment. This missal served as a guide for bishops during sacred services, ensuring that each word spoken carried profound meaning and reverence. As part of the Stapleton Collection and now housed within a private collection, this specimen invites us to delve into centuries past. It reminds us of our shared human heritage and offers glimpses into both spiritual devotion and artistic brilliance. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can appreciate this extraordinary work without commercial constraints. Let this image serve as an invitation to explore the rich tapestry woven by our ancestors through their dedication to faith and artistry alike.
