EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene from the past, transporting us to the walls of a fortified city. The image captures soldiers standing tall on these ancient walls, their presence exuding strength and determination. What makes this photograph even more intriguing are the inscriptions in Hebrew that adorn the walls, adding an air of mystery and significance. The page depicted in this print is taken from the Hebrew Bible of Joseph Assarfati (Asarfati), dating back to 1299. This historical artifact holds immense value as it provides insights into religious practices and beliefs during that time period. Preserved within Lisbon's Biblioteca Nacional, it serves as a testament to Jewish culture and heritage. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captured this moment through her lens, highlighting not only the soldiers but also their surroundings with great attention to detail. The illumination and miniature artistry showcased in this manuscript further emphasize its artistic merit. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to medieval times when fortifications played a crucial role in protecting cities against external threats. It reminds us of the resilience displayed by those who defended these strongholds centuries ago. This print offers us a glimpse into history—a visual representation of faith, military might, and architectural prowess all intertwined within one frame.
