EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 15th-century miniature, we witness a significant historical moment as the author presents the renowned book "Ogier le Danois" to King Louis XII of France. The scene unfolds in the grandeur of Paris, where Antoine Verard's printing press has brought this literary masterpiece to life in 1498. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the artwork transport us back to a time when literature held immense power. As the unknown author extends his offering, one can only imagine the anticipation and pride he must have felt in presenting his work to such a prominent figure. This incunable edition holds great significance not only for French history but also for European literature as a whole. It tells tales of courage, chivalry, and adventure that captivated readers across Italy and beyond. Its popularity is evident through its presence even in far-off places like Turin, Italy Piamonte. Preserved within the hallowed halls of the National Library, this rare print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and intellectual prowess. Santiago Ortega's photograph allows us to appreciate every delicate brushstroke that breathes life into this enchanting scene from centuries past. As we gaze upon this vertical composition, we are reminded of how books have long been cherished treasures capable of bridging cultures and shaping our understanding of history. This image stands as an homage to those who dedicated their lives to preserving knowledge through literature – authors like Antoine Verard whose legacy continues to inspire generations today.
