EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print showcases the cover of an edition printed in 1499, featuring "Regiment de la Cosa Publica" (Regime of Public Affairs) by Francesc Eiximenis and Juries of Valencia City. Originally written in 1383 by Eixemenis, this engraving represents a significant piece of Catalan literature from the 14th century. The image captures the essence of medieval Catalonia, with its vibrant colors and intricate details. The city walls and gate towers serve as a backdrop to highlight the importance of government institutions during that time. A clergyman, possibly representing a theologian or friar, stands prominently on the cover alongside other figures such as maceros (ceremonial mace bearers) and Martin I Human, King of Aragon. The crest atop the cover symbolizes the Crown of Aragon's authority over Catalonia and its monarchy. Notably present are references to key individuals like Santiago Ortega, Patriarch of Jerusalem, who played a role in shaping political affairs. This rare incunabula is housed within the Library of Catalonia today. Its engraved illustrations depict scenes from daily life while praising and exalting those involved in public service. With its vertical orientation emphasizing storytelling through prose, this literary work provides valuable insights into governance structures during this period. As we admire this historic artifact from Barcelona's rich cultural heritage, it reminds us how literature has always been instrumental in documenting societal norms and offering guidance for future generations seeking to understand their pasts.
