EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a significant moment in history, depicting Amalric of Bena teaching during the 13th to 14th century. This renowned philosopher and theologian is shown passionately lecturing at a lectern, surrounded by an eager audience who listen intently to his words. The medieval setting adds depth and authenticity to the scene, transporting us back in time. Amalric of Bena's teachings were not without controversy, as evidenced by the condemnation of his doctrines as heretical by the University of Paris in 1204. Despite this opposition, he fearlessly continued to impart his knowledge and challenge conventional beliefs. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring life to every detail - from Amalric's animated gestures while pointing out key concepts, to the attentive expressions on the faces of those listening. The manuscript held by Amalric symbolizes both his dedication to education and his profound impact on intellectual discourse during that era. This thought-provoking image reminds us of the power that teachers hold in shaping minds and challenging societal norms. It serves as a testament to Amalric's unwavering commitment to sharing knowledge despite facing adversity. Preserved within the collection of Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, this remarkable piece allows us a glimpse into an extraordinary period where philosophy clashed with religious orthodoxy. It stands as a tribute not only to Amalric himself but also serves as an homage to all educators throughout history who have dared question established truths for the pursuit of enlightenment
