EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful 16th-century woodcut by Jost Amman captures the haunting image of a Flagellant sect, founded in 1260, as they whip themselves in an attempt to obtain God's mercy and appease his wrath for the sins of mankind. The intensity of their devotion is evident as blood runs down their bodies, symbolizing their sacrifice and commitment to seeking divine forgiveness. During times of plague and epidemic, such as the devastating bubonic plague that ravaged Europe during this era, these flagellants would process through the streets. Their presence was both a religious spectacle and a desperate plea for salvation from death's grasp. Clad in black robes, they embodied the somberness of their mission while also serving as a reminder of humanity's mortality. In an age where medicine struggled to combat diseases effectively, religion often provided solace and hope amidst widespread suffering. These flagellants believed that through self-inflicted pain and penance, they could somehow ward off illness or mitigate its effects. Amman's woodcut serves as a poignant testament to the intersection between faith and desperation during this tumultuous period. It encapsulates not only religious fervor but also human resilience in facing unimaginable challenges. This historical artifact invites us to reflect on how societies have grappled with epidemics throughout history while reminding us of our shared vulnerability in the face of disease.
