EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning page is taken from the Complutensian Polyglot Bible, the first printed edition of the entire Bible in multiple languages. Financed and initiated by Spanish Cardinal Francisco Jimenez de Cisneros between 1514 and 1517 in Alcala de Henares, Kingdom of Castile, Spain, this masterpiece of medieval scholarship and art is considered an important milestone in the history of the Catholic Church and European literature. Cardinal Cisneros, a renowned scholar and statesman, oversaw the production of this polyglot Bible, which included the Old and New Testaments in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and several other languages. The project was carried out under the auspices of the Complutense University, which Cisneros had founded in 1499. The intricately decorated page before you showcases the opening of the Book of Genesis, with the creation of the world and the first humans, Adam and Eve. The elaborate ornamentation, featuring gold and vibrant colors, reflects the grandeur and importance of the Bible as a sacred text. This page is a testament to the intellectual and artistic achievements of the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages, a time when Europe was undergoing significant cultural and religious transformations. The Complutensian Polyglot Bible was a groundbreaking work that influenced the development of biblical scholarship and the spread of the Christian faith throughout Europe and beyond. Today, this precious artifact is housed in the Episcopal Library of Barcelona, where it continues to inspire scholars, artists, and visitors alike with its beauty and historical significance.
