The manuscript Vat. Lat. 3767, the Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary, was gifted to the Vatican Library by Pope Gregory XIII on November 5, 1578. Within it, the grand miniatures are the work of skilled illuminators and depict scenes from the lives of the Saints and the Gospel. The work is accompanied by complete reproductions of two documents: the Canon of the reform of the Gregorian calendar, covering the months October-December 1582, and the Map of the Seven Churches, the pilgrimage destinations of the great Jubilee proclaimed by Pope Gregory XIII in 1575.

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.
