Sometimes associated with the Holy Roman Emperor, the Beinecke Hours of Charles V is an exquisitely painted illuminated manuscript produced in early sixteenth-century France. The Christian devotional book of hours contains a calendar, prayers, psalms, and other texts, all lavishly decorated with biblical scenes, portraits of saints, and decorative foliage. The book is remarkable for including a series of portraits of ancient Roman sibyls. The miniatures are set within ornate architectural frames and painted with richly saturated pigments accented with gold.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
