EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are presented with a glimpse into the world of medieval literature and the role of a scribe or chronicler. The image showcases a possible self-portrait of the author, beautifully depicted on vellum by Pere Albert (1291-1327). This remarkable piece is housed in the Arxiu de la Paeria in Lleida, Catalunya, Spain. The scribe or chronicler captured here exudes an air of wisdom and introspection. Dressed in traditional medieval attire, adorned with a scapular draped over their shoulders, they sit diligently at their writing desk. The meticulous attention to detail suggests that every stroke of the pen holds immense significance. This photograph transports us back to a time when Latin was the language of scholars and writers alike. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of literature during this period. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost imagine ourselves witnessing history being transcribed onto parchment. What makes this portrayal particularly intriguing is that it depicts a female writer amidst predominantly male counterparts. This subtle inclusion challenges societal norms and highlights women's contributions to literary endeavors during an era often associated with male dominance. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured not only an exquisite work of art but also an important historical representation. Through this photo print, we are reminded that even centuries later, these ancient manuscripts continue to inspire awe and reverence for those who dedicated their lives to preserving knowledge through written word.
