Short Description
This remarkable literary codex simultaneously demonstrates the influence of the Italian Renaissance in Spain while also presenting the first woodcut in the history of Spanish printing.
Omelia sobre lo psalm "de profundis"
A monument of Spanish book printing: the first Spanish woodcut, which originated in Valencia and depicts the Virgin of the Rosary flanked by two of the most important figures of the medieval church: an iris-wielding St. Dominic (1170–1221) and a book-wielding St. Thomas Aquinas (1225–74), while Pope Benedict III (d. 858) and a knight girt with a sword kneel at her feet – all four figures surrounding the Holy Virgin hold rosaries in their hands. This woodcut adorns a devout work in the style of an allegorical romance by Jeroni Fuster, partly in verse, which was printed in an elegant Gothic script. It was published by the Valencian printing house of Lambert Palmart (b. 1440) in 1490 and, according to M. de Riquer, was influenced by the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri (ca. 1265–1321). This incunabulum, a printed book predating 1501, is a fine testament to the genesis period of Spanish printing.
