EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Henri Justel: A French Protestant Scholar in Exile at the English Court" Henri Justel (1620-1693), a renowned French scholar and Protestant refugee, is depicted in this evocative portrait. The image, captured around the mid-17th century, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who played a pivotal role in the intellectual and cultural exchange between France and England during the tumultuous period of religious conflict. Born in Paris, Justel was a descendant of an ancient and distinguished family. He began his career as a librarian in the royal library of Louis XIII. However, with the escalating persecution of Protestants in France, Justel was forced to flee his homeland and seek refuge in England. His arrival in England in 1642 marked the beginning of an extraordinary period in his life. At the English court, Justel's exceptional knowledge and erudition soon came to the attention of King Charles I and his circle of scholars. He was appointed as the librarian to the Duke of Buckingham and later became the Keeper of the King's Library. In this role, Justel played a crucial part in the acquisition and cataloging of the royal collection, which would later form the basis of the British Library. Justel's presence at the English court also facilitated the exchange of ideas and knowledge between France and England. He acted as a go-between for scholars and intellectuals on both sides of the English Channel, and his correspondence with notable figures such as Jean-Baptiste Lully and Pierre Bayle is a testament to his influential role in the intellectual world of the time. This portrait of Henri Justel, with its solemn yet thoughtful expression, captures the essence of a man who, despite the challenges and upheavals of his time, remained steadfast in his commitment to knowledge and learning. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of the human spirit and the importance of intellectual exchange in times of adversity.
