1225 1274 Aquinas Commentaries Gospels Incunabulum Aisa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image showcases the first page of Saint Thomas Aquinas's Commentaries on the Gospels, an incunabulum (one of the earliest printed books in Europe) from the fifteenth century. Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274), a renowned Italian philosopher and theologian, is considered one of the most influential figures in Western thought. His commentaries on the Gospels, which include the four books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, are a testament to his deep understanding of the sacred texts and their significance in the Christian faith. The miniature illustration on this page depicts Saint Thomas Aquinas in contemplative prayer, surrounded by angels and the symbols of the Evangelists - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The intricate details of the illustration, from the delicate folds of Aquinas's robes to the delicate shading on the angels' wings, demonstrate the exceptional craftsmanship of the incunabulum's artisans. This historical artifact is a valuable reminder of the intellectual and artistic achievements of the Middle Ages. Saint Thomas Aquinas's Commentaries on the Gospels not only reflect the depth of his theological insights but also showcase the beauty and importance of the written word in the medieval world. This image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Saint Thomas Aquinas and the profound impact of his work on Western thought and Christian spirituality.
