EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a historical masterpiece, "Incipit from the Book of Exodus, 1398". Created by an anonymous Italian artist in the 14th century, this vellum manuscript is now housed in the Museo Ebraico in Venice, Italy. The image showcases intricate details and vibrant colors that have stood the test of time. The scene depicted within this artwork takes us on a journey back to ancient times. A group of Jews embarks on a voyage across turbulent waters aboard a boat. Clutching their sacred text, the Book of Exodus, they seek refuge and freedom amidst uncertain circumstances. The Hebrew script adorning each page serves as a testament to their unwavering faith and commitment to their religion. As we delve deeper into this medieval world through Giancarlo Costa's lens, we notice an array of fascinating elements. An illuminated bird hovers above them all—a symbol perhaps representing divine guidance or protection throughout their arduous journey. Additionally, a cockerel perched atop one end of the vessel signifies hope and new beginnings. This photograph not only invites us to appreciate its artistic beauty but also encourages contemplation about human history and religious devotion. It reminds us how literature has served as both transportive vehicle and spiritual compass for countless generations across different cultures.
