The Hours of Charles of Angoulême
by Maxence Hermant and Séverine Lepape (Bibliothèque nationale de France)
The Hours of Charles of Angoulême (Bibliothèque nationale de France, Latin 1173) commissioned for Charles, Count of Angoulême (the father of Francis I of France) is undeniably Robinet Testard’s most personal work. Testard, one of France’s most creative painters, drew upon his boundless imagination to create a totally novel work. The calendar scenes on the opening pages are surprisingly original. Testard also portrays exotic landscapes, botanical elements, an acrostic featuring animated figures more typical of alphabet books, and even combines mythology and religion in rather peculiar ways. Testard’s compositions in the Passion cycle are inspired by engraving techniques, and the intense, vivid colours in his paintings bring the scenes alive. And if this manuscript defying prevailing trends was still not original enough, it even features a miniature by Bourdichon (none other than the master of the Great Hours of Anne of Brittany!)

2022La tercera máscara
by Care Santos
This harsh realist novel is a fiction masterfully created by the writer Care Santos, but it might not be. It could well be a journalistic investigation about a true event, one of those newspaper articles that shocks consciences and makes us ask how something like this has happened? How could someone so young commit such an atrocity? Some people may believe that there are things that it is better not to go deep into, that it is better to turn a blind eye. But if we do so then, how can we prevent it from happening again?

Infancia y abandono en la Barcelona del siglo XV
by Ximena Illanes Zubieta
Este libro explica cómo fue el abandono de niñas y niños en la Barcelona del siglo XV, deteniéndose en tres etapas esenciales: la escena del abandono, el cuidado de los lactantes en manos de nodrizas y el aprendizaje en casas ajenas. En cada fase se revisan las condiciones de integración y marginación, la presencia de lo femenino y los relatos de amores y desamores. Las historias que aquí se recogen permiten comprender las diferentes dimensiones del abandono, acto que involucraba no solo a los infantes expuestos, sino también a su entorno. Los niños en su mayoría eran abandonados en las puertas del Hospital de la Santa Creu de Barcelona durante las horas menos transitadas para evitar el juicio social. Las cartas que acompañaban a los infantes reflejan el drama de la pobreza y, por ende, la incapacidad forzosa de las madres para asumir el rol de la crianza. Al reconstruir el contexto de la época, el lector tiene la posibilidad de realizar un ejercicio de empatía que vuelve el foco de atención al presente. Es inevitable percibir las duras realidades que se mantienen a lo largo del tiempo y el casi irreparable sufrimiento que causa la soledad en los primeros años de vida.
