EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a detailed section of Ms Hunter 252 f. 75v Hostel, an illuminated manuscript from the 15th century. The manuscript is part of Les Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles, a collection of burlesque and licentious tales told at the court of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy. This particular volume is the sole surviving copy of the text. The image showcases an interior scene depicting a bush, which was commonly used as a sign to denote an inn or tavern during medieval times. It transports us back in time to a bustling hostel where weary travelers and pilgrims sought refuge on their journeys. The intricate details and vibrant colors found within this illuminated manuscript are truly awe-inspiring. Every stroke reveals the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such a masterpiece. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but imagine ourselves stepping into this medieval world - hearing the chatter of fellow travelers in the dormitory, feeling the warmth emanating from crackling hearths, and catching glimpses of curious characters who have embarked on their own adventures. This photograph not only serves as a visual delight but also offers us insight into historical customs surrounding travel and hospitality during that era. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people were united by their desire for exploration and connection – seeking solace within these humble hostels along their arduous journeys.
