Manuscript book Description
Facsimile Edition Description (2)

The Epistolary of Frederick the Wise contains readings from the Christian Bible for use at Mass. The manuscript opens with full-page coats of arms of the Electorate of Saxony and the book's patron: Frederick III, "the wise," Elector of Saxony. Made between 1507 and 1509 in Nuremberg, the manuscript boasts a full-page miniature of the Lamentation and seventeen historiated initials and painted borders of lush foliage in which ears, peacocks, and humans romp, all the work of Jacob Elsner and his workshop.

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.
