EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment between siblings, Isidore and Florentina, as depicted in the ancient manuscript "De fide catholica ex Veteri et Novo Testamento contra Judaeos" by Isidore of Seville. The image showcases Isidore presenting his work to his sister with utmost reverence and love. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of intricate carvings and arches, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship of the 9th-century French School. Isidore sits on a majestic throne, symbolizing his esteemed position as a saint and scholar. With deep devotion shining in his eyes, he offers the meticulously crafted manuscript to Florentina. Florentina, portrayed as a nun, receives her brother's gift with gratitude and admiration for his intellectual prowess. This tender exchange not only highlights their familial bond but also emphasizes their shared dedication to spreading knowledge and faith. Isidore holds great significance beyond this intimate moment; he is revered as the patron saint of internet users and cybernauts - an intriguing connection considering this artwork predates modern technology by centuries. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this extraordinary piece serves as both an artistic treasure from medieval times and a testament to the enduring power of sibling support and scholarly pursuits throughout history.
