EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the University Beadle, a significant figure in the 15th century French church administration. The image captures the essence of this lay official's role, as he carries out various duties such as ushering, maintaining order, and assisting in religious functions. The University Beadle depicted here is Jean Lequeux, known as the Messenger of Guise en Thierache in the Diocese of Laon. This 19th-century engraving beautifully portrays him based on a 15th-century manuscript. It is fascinating to witness how this occupation evolved over time and remained relevant even during the Middle Ages. Intriguingly, this illustration comes from "Science and Literature in the Middle Ages" by Paul Lacroix, published in London back in 1878. It serves as a reminder of how education was valued throughout history and sheds light on medieval practices within universities. The attention to detail showcased through this drawing transports us back to an era where manuscripts were meticulously crafted and illustrations played a crucial role in conveying information. Overall, this print not only provides insight into an important historical profession but also offers a glimpse into France's rich cultural heritage during both the fifteenth century and nineteenth century.
