EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the illuminated cover of "The Conspiracy of Catiline" by Gaius Salustio Crispus, found in a 15th century codex. The intricate details and vibrant colors on this vertical manuscript, labeled as number 122, transport us back to ancient Rome. Preserved within the library of the University in Barcelona, Catalonia, this piece of literature holds immense historical significance. Gaius Salustio Crispus's work delves into the infamous conspiracy led by Lucius Sergius Catilina against the Roman Republic in 63 BC. Through his meticulous storytelling and vivid descriptions, he brings to life this dark chapter from Rome's past. The miniated illustrations adorning the cover further enhance our understanding of this gripping tale. Santiago Ortega has skillfully captured every nuance and hue present on this remarkable artifact. His lens allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its cultural importance. As we gaze upon it, we can almost feel ourselves stepping into a time long gone. This photograph serves as a reminder that history is not confined to dusty books or forgotten manuscripts; it lives on through pieces like these that have withstood the test of time. It invites us to explore and immerse ourselves in ancient narratives that continue to shape our world today.
