The Zúñiga Hours is a richly illustrated manuscript with intricate miniatures and decorative elements. Its completion was commissioned by Juan de Zúñiga in the late fifteenth century. Given to Philip II, King of Spain, by Alonso de Zúñiga, the manuscript is a Christian devotional book. The calendar depicts seasonal activities alongside zodiac signs. The borders are adorned with intricate flower and leaf motifs interwoven with animals and fantastic creatures. The manuscript’s full-page miniatures are characterized by vibrant colors and depict important events in Christ's life, combining Flemish and French artistic styles with Spanish elements.

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.
