EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the Manuscript on the Constitution of Barcelona, entitled Usatges of Barcelona, Catalonia costums. Dating back to the 14th century, this manuscript provides invaluable insights into the legal standards and customs that governed medieval Catalonia. The vibrant colors and intricate details in this image bring to life the feudal society and institutions that shaped this region. The manuscript's heading draws attention with its elegant calligraphy, hinting at its significance as a source of power and authority during those times. It is believed to have been commissioned by King James I and Ramon Berenguer IV, highlighting their role in shaping these laws. A fascinating aspect captured in this photo is a miniature illustration depicting a juggler amidst legal proceedings. This whimsical addition adds an element of surprise while also symbolizing the delicate balance between justice and entertainment within medieval courts. Preserved in the Escorial Library located in Madrid's community of Spain, this manuscript remains shrouded in mystery as its authorship remains unknown. However, it continues to serve as an essential resource for scholars studying Catalan civil law and constitutional history. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are transported back through time to witness firsthand how legal systems were established centuries ago. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with ancient manuscripts and their ability to shed light on our past societies' norms and customs.
