The Epistolary of Giovanni da Gaibana is a sumptuously illuminated manuscript of readings for use in the liturgy of the Mass, the Christian religious rite focused on the consecration and consumption of bread and wine. Named for its scribe, it was made in 1259 at the cathedral of Padua for that church's use. Its illumination—which includes full-page miniatures of events in the life of Christ and the Church, as well as saints' martyrdoms, and historiated initials—is a showcase of high-quality Italian painting strongly influenced by contemporary Byzantine art.

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.
