EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene from the 14th century, depicting a shipment of goods on a boat accompanied by an illuminated initial letter featuring a sailor in his vessel. The image is part of the Codex Justinian Institutiones Feodorum et Alia, an exquisite illuminated manuscript dating back to around 1300. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this historical moment to life. In the foreground, we see barrels and crates filled with merchandise, symbolizing bustling commerce during the Middle Ages. The boat itself stands tall with its majestic mast and billowing sail, ready to embark on a journey across treacherous waters. The sailor depicted in this miniature wears civilian clothes, emphasizing his role as an ordinary man navigating through unpredictable seas for trade purposes. Behind him lies a picturesque cityscape and port area bustling with activity; it serves as a testament to Italy's rich history as one of Europe's major trading hubs. Preserved within the National Library in Turin, Italy, this piece represents not only artistic mastery but also provides valuable insights into medieval navigation techniques and maritime trade routes. Its inclusion in the Codex Justinian Institutiones Feodorum further highlights its significance within legal scholarship during that era. Thanks to Santiago Ortega's expert photography skills, viewers can now appreciate this vertical composition that captures both the grandeur of seafaring adventures and the meticulous craftsmanship involved in creating illuminated manuscripts like these.
