Do you like this #Facsimile? Then contact us under contact@ or visit our homepage: The so-called Rich #Codex of Cantigas de Santa Maria is one of the most significant pieces of evidence of 13th century Spanish history. Alfonso X, King of Castile, commissioned a #manuscript that brought poetry music, and imagery together in a unique conjunction. Songs praising the Virgin Mary, composed from various poets, stand at the center of the manuscript. These poems dedicated to Mary were illustrated in marvelous pictures, which offer a glimpse into the manuscript’s time of origin and which are considered to be important sources for the history of Castile. A truly historical, literary, and artistic work of #art! You can find this and many other facsimiles under:
