Abstract

This study intends to delve into the use of the image that the monarchy will use in the Kingdom of Valencia as an enhancing element of the accompanying text. For this, after the bibliographic review, a detailed analysis of the miniatures that appear in the Book of Privileges of the city of Alzira is carried out, considering it as the first manuscript made in a Valencian miniature workshop.From the study of artistic techniques and procedures, we will formulate stylistic connections that allow us to see the intervention of various illuminators working in Valencia in this period.
