EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Ms 346. Livy, Ab Urbe Condita, 1-10, f. 1r. , an illuminated manuscript created by the Neapolitan School in the 15th century. The incipit page is adorned with a stunning white vine-stem decorated initial [F], which is inhabited by three adorable putti. Surrounding this central feature is a full border teeming with life - putti, birds including a majestic peacock, rabbits frolicking around, and even a collared leopard adding an unexpected touch of wildness. The craftsmanship displayed in this artwork is truly remarkable; every intricate detail has been meticulously executed to create a visual feast for the eyes. The anonymous illuminator from Naples who brought this masterpiece to life between 1465 and 1479 deserves immense praise for their talent. Adding further interest to this composition are two roundels: one featuring a profile marble bust of Livy himself in the outer margin and another showcasing the arms of Acquaviva family, Dukes of Atri framed by laurels at the bas-de-page. Thanks to kind permission from the Earl of Leicester and Trustees of Holkham Estate, we have access to appreciate and admire this extraordinary piece today. It serves as both a testament to human creativity throughout history and as an invitation into a world where cherubs play among vines while animals roam freely alongside them.
