EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail from the Visigothic-Mozarabic Bible of St. Isidore, depicting the biblical story of Susanna and the Elders. Created in A. D. 960 by the Spanish School, this tempera on vellum artwork is an exquisite example of Gothic illumination. The Visigothic-Mozarabic Bible of St. Isidore is considered one of the rarest medieval manuscripts, and its completion can be precisely dated to June 19,960 at the Monastery of Valeranica. The names of the copyists, Florencio and Sancho, as well as the miniaturist involved in creating this masterpiece are recorded within its pages. Containing all books from both Old and New Testaments, this bible also features marginal annotations in Latin and Arabic languages. Its intricate details bring to life stories like that of Susanna and her encounter with two elders who falsely accuse her. The scene depicted in this particular print captures Susanna's vulnerability as she stands before these old men who seek to exploit her innocence. The artist skillfully portrays their sinister intentions through subtle facial expressions and body language. Located at Archivo Capitular de la Real Colegiata de San Isidoro in Leon, Spain; this print not only offers a glimpse into ancient religious texts but also serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage found within Spanish culture during the 10th century.
