Bestiary of Oxford - Ed Adeva

Definition Bestiary: Medieval bestiaries were treated teaching on the allegorical, religious and moral significance of animals mentioned in the Bible, are an attempt to bring into harmony the idea of God the Creator with his creation of Nature and convey the idea that knowing the natural world is a way of praising the Creator through his work

The Bestiary were distinctly Christian works with a moral message about life, work, service to God and death. Somehow, modern fable with its moral stories relayed through animal figures, are heirs of the medieval bestiary

This manuscript, the Bestiary of Oxford, which includes the properties of real and mythical animals, is an important document to reveal the knowledge of the time and the evolution of the concept of own world of the Middle Ages. Reflects changes of thought versus symbolism and allegory in relation to the surrounding world, the variations in curriculum and moral concepts and the growing interest in the natural sciences. We speak of the XII century, coinciding with the consolidation of the Gothic style in art.

The manuscript in question is a deluxe edition, with a profusion of gold and high artistic qualities clearly visible in the fineness of the drawings and the selection of colors. The funny Byzantine style to which they refer as fall within the tradition of English miniature. The inset of Figure comes in a square of Romanesque art, but the stylization of the figures and place us in the Gothic. The splendor of gold funds contributes to the preciousness of the manuscript

In the late twelfth century, in the late Romanesque became the rage in educated circles in England a new genre of books: the bestiary, profusely illustrated book of animals and based on biblical references and relevant ideas. The text accompanying the illustrations and faithfully explains the characteristics and peculiarities of animals, among which quite often include fabulous beings.

Among the many manuscripts, which is currently stored in Oxford is one of the oldest and most beautiful. The Oxford codex is lavishly decorated with gold leaf and includes magnificent representations of animals, plants and men, which are characterized by a bright gouache and a clear, calm and symmetrically balanced with a bright colorful composition. Virtually no other bestiary has such a wide repertoire of examples. In addition the chapter thumbnails of the book reproduced in oversized versions vividly descriptive and eight scenes from Genesis.

As unknown as the specific place of origin is the donor of the manuscript, made circa 1210 by anonymous artists. However, its luxurious presentation, specifically its waste of gold and silver suggest a high personality as the recipient of this gem. The Romanesque leather binding is currently in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna.

Bestiary Don Juan de Austria - Ed Siloé

Since ancient times the animal world has had an overpowering influence on the mind of man to inspire in him a mixture of fear, awe and deep fascination. His manifold reality, more often mysterious and inescapable presence have been favoring the appearance of an ancient zoological culture of an effort to understand and so argued that symbolic interpretation has led to one of the most solid bodies of wisdom embodied in the famous medieval bestiaries.

In the next picture you can see the two volumes. The set consists of facsimile and a book study that thoroughly analyzes each page.

Facsimile S. XVI.Original preserved in the Monastery of Santa Maria de la Vid (Burgos)

The mysterious appearance of many animals, some of its disturbing and fascinating shapes dimensions, their hidden habits, or too diffuse, have fueled awe, admiration and respect for this impressive animal species worldwide, making it not only preferred object of observation and study, but also, as in the case of our medieval bestiary-in paradigm of good or evil in human alama glittering mirror and, ultimately, an inexhaustible source of spiritual and social wisdom with which equate to better difficult journey through this turbulent world.  Here you can see photos of the interior and facsimile, with his models and manual text.

A while now , most educated in the fields of the western world is picking a strong tendency to deepen geographic or temporal remote cultures from ours. As elsewhere, there is growing interest in the ancient Chinese culture , philosophy, history and spirituality of ancient India, the Amazing little known Islamic or dark area in pre-Columbian America. And going back in time warp , the spell is evident that our Middle Ages exercised all their diversity , their particular worldview , his metaphysical world , its peculiar cosmology and cosmogony , the art of churches and cathedrals, its broad and rich symbolic language of our bestiaries be perhaps one of the most eloquent expressions .Mired as we are in this vortex of dizzying accumulation of scientific and technical knowledge we risk falling into an exclusive and excluding scientism lose all contact with these other cultures with which we are obliged to talk , which severely limits our human vision and ultimately take us even to disturb the necessary compression of ourselves.

The truth is that the proliferation of bestiaries was such that over time came to become the reference book for the educated and genuine artists briefs then.But this really educated people, cleric or philosopher that evoke a paradigm of the eternal truths, and driven by a strong Christian spiritual impulse, too humble country people, the peasants surrounded their pets and harmful , moving through forests, meadows and orchards, and even the ladies who basks practicing falconry be sent to this symbology bestiaries and see the butterfly or the first swallow, arrival with good weather, the emblem of the Resurrection Christ, for example, the gray donkey marked with a white cross on the back will evoke his painful walk to Calvary carrying the wood of their ordeal.

Just mention falconry and may not be idle warn our dear reader a rare curiosity, as is the fact that among the many pages of our bestiary found a short treatise on falconry which is the only illustrated this subject written in Spanish. In no other library or document may be found as happy coincidence.

The author, Martin Villaverde, who appears in a shortened form as the manuscript Villaxide-dedicates the book, as stated above, to Don Juan of Austria with these words: "I ​​drew these lines to Vra. Excellencia with pasallas and rest awhile mirallas of many who worked in war. "We entertain remedarle and dedicate this book to those who have had or will have the opportunity and sufficient sensitivity to support our editorial work by acquiring a copy of this edition, that crossing and recrossing their beautiful pages also take a break from the many other ungrateful also modern life often bring.

Dear reader, faces one of the most beautiful and perfect bibliophile editions current. Not surprisingly facsimile earned the Fray Luis de León prize for the best work published in this section. And with them and our author-Martin-Villaverde one last tip we want to give a bestial advice we dare say: 'Heal well bivir / how long have / A death there's hope. "

Here we can see a detailed help book. Where vien translated and explained the text of the facsimile.

Revelation Flamenco - Moleiro

Within the iconographic of apocalypse, the manuscript of the Bibliothèque nationale de France is a unique work: Revelation is the only written in Flemish illuminated and that remains today. The miniaturists show exceptional talent. Recreate usual illustration of this type of texts but brings reasons unrelated to any artistic tradition, each model reflects a great visionary and an atmosphere of mystery in accordance with the content.

Experts place it at the beginning of the fifteenth century. Elements such as architecture, the armor, the armor, weapons, hairstyles and most clothing can be found between the late fourteenth and early fifteenth. Dr. Nelly de Hommel, author of the volume of studies, combining textual analysis and iconographic, concludes that the manuscript was made between 1400 and 1410.

In Revelation Flamenco , realism pre -van Eyck appears in multiple scenes and details, through the characterization of characters and the representation of movement . For example , women who listen attentively to the sermon of St. John in the folio 1r could have been copied from the reality , and the man working in the bellows to light the fire or the boat and its passengers. Other signs of this realism that anticipates the style of van Eyck are folio naked couple 3r, 4r folio skeletons or prostitute led to the stake on folio 20r . It is also reflected in the architecture : churches , towers and buildings have been faithfully represented , but the outlook is even more intuitive than scientific . Many scenes vibrate with a very realistic sense of motion : Wild Waters Flow (folios 1r, 9r, 21r ), animals and human figures convey motion , as the horses of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse ( Folio 7r ) , characters that move ( St. John at folios 5r and 19r, the angel in the sun or the man on the stairs on folio 8r ) , etc. . All these elements breathe life into the scenes. Flamenco Revelation consists of 23 images brimming with diverse and colorful motifs . After an initial full-page miniature depicting scenes from the life of St. John until his exile on Patmos , it enshrines a full-page image to each of the 22 chapters of the Book of Revelation.

Of particular concern are frames that fit each thumbnail. The stylized clouds burnished gold pleated to form narrow meandering around each image is unique and features of this manuscript.

This codex, notably flamenco is a dazzling work. No artist has combined traditional motifs in such an innovative and personal. No miniaturist has provided a colorful objects comparable to the leading painter of this manuscript. Never exuberant architecture first Flamboyant Gothic macabre figures, nudes pitiful, meadows dotted with flowers, foliage detailed costumes end of the Middle Ages had played such a role in the staging farthest Book from the realities of everyday life, Revelation.
