EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricately detailed "Plan of Canterbury Cathedral from the Eadwine Psalter" dating back to around 1150. Created on vellum by an anonymous English School artist in the 12th century, this masterpiece is currently housed at Trinity College in Cambridge, UK. The plan, found within the pages of the Eadwine Psalter named after its scribe Eadwine, a monk of Christ Church (now Canterbury Cathedral), offers a fascinating glimpse into the water system of Prior Wibert. It reveals not only architectural elements but also various aspects related to Christian worship and monastic life during medieval times. With its meticulous depiction of buildings, gardens, fish ponds, and even plumbing connections, this illuminated manuscript serves as both an architectural drawing and a religious artifact. The inclusion of a herb garden and herbarium highlights the importance placed on medicinal plants within monastic communities. As we observe this birds-eye view with awe-inspiring detail, we are transported back in time to witness how waterworks were ingeniously designed within Canterbury Cathedral's Romanesque structure. This visual representation provides valuable insights into the skillful craftsmanship employed by architects and builders during that era. Beyond its historical significance, this image invites contemplation about spirituality and human ingenuity. It reminds us of our connection to nature through features like fountains and pools while emphasizing Christianity's role as a guiding force for those who sought solace within these sacred walls.
