EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene from the Visigothic-Mozarabic Bible of St. Isidore, dating back to the 10th century. The image depicts "The Crossing of the Red Sea and the Dance of the Hebrew women to the sound of tambourines" beautifully captured in tempera on vellum by Spanish School artists. In this extraordinary artwork, we witness Moses leading his people across the parted waters of the Red Sea, as described in Exodus from the Old Testament. Surrounding him are Hebrew women joyfully dancing to the rhythmic beats of tambourines played by Moses and his accompanists. Considered one of medieval history's rarest manuscripts, this Mozarabic bible was completed on June 19,960 at Valeranica Monastery. It is adorned with intricate illuminations and marginal annotations in both Latin and Arabic script. The attention to detail is evident throughout this masterpiece; every brushstroke brings life to each figure and movement portrayed. This particular section highlights not only a miraculous event but also celebrates music and dance as integral parts of religious expression. Preserved within Leon's Archivo Capitular de la Real Colegiata de San Isidoro, this invaluable manuscript reflects an era when art served as a conduit for spiritual devotion. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic excellence but also in its role as a testament to cultural exchange between different civilizations during that time period.
