EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as "A Woman Taking an Oath before King James I of Majorca" unfolds. The scene, depicted on vellum by the Spanish School in the 13th century, showcases intricate details of the magistrate, woman, and scribe from the Capbreu de Clayra et de Millas. In this medieval illumination, we witness a powerful display of authority and justice. The woman stands resolute, her hand raised to take an oath while being observed by none other than King James I himself. This visual testament to female empowerment is truly remarkable for its time. The composition exudes a sense of grandeur with its gothic architecture and elaborate capital lettering. Every stroke of the notary's pen is meticulously captured on this ancient manuscript, symbolizing the importance placed upon written agreements during that era. As we delve into this historical artifact preserved within the Archives Departement des Pyrenees-Orientales in Perpignan, France; we are transported back to a time when oaths were sacred and legal proceedings held immense weight. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, women played crucial roles in society beyond what may have been expected or acknowledged at first glance. Bridgeman Images has expertly brought this piece to life through their fine art reproduction techniques. Through their lens, we can appreciate both the artistic mastery behind this work and its cultural significance in shaping our understanding of medieval times.
