EDITORS COMMENTS
(Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153): A Model for the Sisters. Prologue. Published in Venice. Impresa by Petrum of Quarengilis in 1502. Episcopal Library. Barcelona, Spain) Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153), a renowned French abbot and the primary founder of the reforming Cistercian order, is depicted in this beautiful 16th-century print. The image, housed in the Episcopal Library of Barcelona, Spain, showcases Bernard in contemplative prayer, symbolizing his deep spiritual commitment and intellectual prowess. Born in 1090 in France, Bernard was a central figure in the Middle Ages, contributing significantly to Christianity and European thought. He is often referred to as a Doctor of the Church due to his influential writings on Christian living, prayer, and the monastic life. This print, titled "Divi Bernardi Abratis ad Sororem Modus," is a prologue from one of Bernard's works, likely intended for use by nuns. The text emphasizes the importance of obedience, humility, and the pursuit of knowledge, reflecting the values of the Cistercian order that Bernard established. The print, published in Venice by Petrum of Quarengilis in 1502, is a testament to the enduring impact of Bernard's teachings. The Gothic style, popular during the Middle Ages, is evident in the intricate details of the image, from the folds of Bernard's robe to the delicate lines of the text. As a philosopher, writer, and saint, Bernard of Clairvaux left an indelible mark on European history. His works continue to be studied and admired for their profound insights into the spiritual and intellectual life of the Middle Ages. This print, with its beautiful imagery and thought-provoking text, serves as a reminder of Bernard's enduring legacy.
