EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 15th century print depicts a page from the Statutes of the Order of the Holy Spirit, an elite group of Western Christian knights who took part in crusades to the Holy Land. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the grandeur and solemnity of the knights and their cavalry, dressed in full armor and carrying their standards. The Crusades, a series of religious wars sanctioned by the Catholic Church, aimed to reclaim the Holy Land from Islamic rule. The Order of the Holy Spirit, also known as the Order of the Hospital of the Holy Spirit, was a prominent military-religious order that provided aid to pilgrims and soldiers. This illuminated manuscript page, with its vibrant colors and meticulous miniature, offers a glimpse into the chivalric world of the Middle Ages, where knights and warriors upheld the values of Christianity and fought valiantly for their faith.
