EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the deep connection between education and religion during the Middle Ages. In this miniature from the Justinian Code, we witness children being entrusted to monks for their education. Created by an unknown artist in the 14th century, this artwork is part of a collection of laws and institutions redigested under Emperor Justinian I of Byzantium. The scene depicts young boys gathered within the walls of a monastery, surrounded by members of the clergy who have taken on the responsibility of educating them. The illumination and intricate details bring this historical moment to life, emphasizing its importance in shaping society at that time. During this era, monasteries played a crucial role as centers of learning and knowledge preservation. They provided not only religious guidance but also served as educational institutions for children from various backgrounds. This image serves as a reminder of how education was highly valued even centuries ago. As we admire this remarkable piece created by Luisa Ricciarini, let us reflect on how education has evolved over time while acknowledging its roots deeply embedded in religious traditions. It reminds us that throughout history, different communities have recognized the significance of passing down knowledge to younger generations through dedicated individuals such as these monks depicted here.
