EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Distinguished Knight of the Spanish Order of Calatrava in Ceremonial Robes This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Verico after Giulio Ferrario, showcases a noble knight of the Spanish Order of Calatrava. The image, taken from Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1829, offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of this esteemed chivalric order. The knight is depicted wearing the full regalia of the Order of Calatrava, which includes a golden mantle adorned with the distinctive cross of the Order, known as the Cross of Calatrava. The cross, in turn, features a white eight-pointed star with a red castle in its center, symbolizing the Order's origins and commitment to the Crusades. The knight's collar is also visible, encircling his neck and adorned with golden fleece and other emblems. The Order of Calatrava, one of the oldest and most distinguished chivalric orders in Spain, was founded in the late 12th century during the Reconquista, the Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors. The Order's name derives from the fortified town of Calatrava la Vieja, which was captured by the Christian forces in 1147. Throughout history, the Order of Calatrava has been known for its commitment to chivalry, courage, and the defense of the Christian faith. Its members have included kings, nobles, and other distinguished figures, and the Order continues to be an important part of Spanish culture and history. This beautiful and intricately detailed illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the Spanish Order of Calatrava and the chivalric orders of Europe during the Middle Ages.
