EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Roman Pontifical of Vic, a manuscript on parchment believed to have been crafted in the scriptorium of the Cathedral of Vic around 1090. A true relic from the 11th century, this bishop's book hails from Catalonia and is steeped in rich history and religious significance. The image captures the essence of Catholicism during the Middle Ages, with its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. The lowercase Latin script adorning its pages tells tales of ceremonies, liturgy, and rituals that were integral to Christian worship at that time. Displayed proudly at the Episcopal Museum in Spain's Catalonia region, this pontifical nestles among other treasures from bygone eras. Its presence serves as a reminder of an era when religion played a central role in society. Photographed horizontally by Santiago Ortega, this scroll-like manuscript evokes curiosity about its unknown origins and those who painstakingly created it centuries ago. It stands as a testament to both human creativity and devotion to faith. While we admire this remarkable piece through photography, let us not forget its spiritual significance beyond commercial use. This print invites us into a world where literature meets artistry within the walls of ancient cathedrals - reminding us that our past shapes our present beliefs and practices.
