The Martyrology of Usuard is a copy of the work completed by Usuard in 860, later updated to include additional saints. Usuard himself was a monk at Saint-Germain-des-Pr s in Paris between 841 and 847, and his journey through Spain in 858 was decisive for the inclusion of many Spanish saints in his text. This remarkable manuscript holds a key place in the history of Central-European painting. Its illuminations reveal strong links with major artistic centres across Europe at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries, placing it firmly within the sphere of international courtly art while remaining rooted in the Bohemian tradition of book illumination a true high point in that tradition's long evolution. Before reaching the city of Gerona, the Martyrology had an eventful journey. Originating in Prague, at the court of King Wenceslas IV of Bohemia, it later travelled through Austria, Hungary, and Moravia. It was subsequently found in Rome and Naples, and may even have been housed for a time in Stockholm and Madrid. In 1673, it arrived at the monastery of Poblet in Catalonia, and later was taken to Gerona, where it was first safeguarded in the monastery of Cadins and is now preserved in the Museu Dioces , where it remains to this day. A masterpiece of the International Gothic from the famous Wenceslas workshop in Prague: the agonizing martyrdoms of the saints in incredible 700 beautiful miniature medallions.
