The famous Spanish Alba Bible is a grandiose icon of tolerance! In 1422, at a time of increasing hostility by Spanish Christians against the Jews, Don Luis de Guzmán commissioned a Castilian translation of the Hebrew Bible along with a commentary. The idea was to strengthen tolerance towards Judaism through this translation. After an uphill struggle, Guzmán recruited Rabbi Moses Arragel from Maqueda as the translator, a highly educated and influential authority on the Hebrew Bible. The result of his work – completed on June 2nd, 1430 – is also an impressive work of #illumination, which is richly adorned with 334 #miniatures. A #manuscript that seeks its match in quality and historicity!
