EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the renowned work of Aristotle, specifically his Nicomachean Ethics and Politics. Created in 1452 on vellum by John Russell, this exquisite piece is now preserved and shared with us courtesy of the esteemed Warden and Scholars of New College, Oxford. The page itself is a testament to the intellectual prowess of its time. Translated into Latin by Leonardi Bruni and given further life through William Warham's contribution, this manuscript holds immense historical significance. Warham himself was not only a Fellow of New College but also held prestigious positions such as Lord Chancellor, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Chancellor of Oxford University. What truly captivates the viewer is the intricate decoration surrounding Aristotle's profound words. The initial capital letter draws attention with its ornate design while grotesque figures add an element of intrigue to the overall composition. The humanist script used throughout reflects both artistic skill and reverence for philosophical treatises. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to an era where knowledge was cherished above all else. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, Aristotle's wisdom continues to inspire scholars around the world. This image encapsulates not just a single moment frozen in history but also represents an enduring legacy that has shaped our understanding of philosophy today.
