Made around 1482-1503 in Saragossa, the richly illuminated Rhyme of the Conquest of Granada was commissioned by Pedro Marcuello, the author of the manuscript’s poetic text, as a gift to Joanna, later Queen of Castile, and her husband Philip the Handsome, later King of Castile. The text includes dedications to Joanna, Philip, and Joanna’s parents, Ferdinand II, King of Aragon, and Isabella, Queen of Castile. Among the fifty-nine miniatures, painted in the fashionable Flemish style, are images of Marcuello presenting the book to Joanna, Philip, and Isabel in three different miniatures.

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.
