1. Title: A Scholar in Deep Thought: A Doctor of Law Reading at a Lectern in the 14th Century This hand-colored illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, transports us back to the 14th century as we witness a Doctor of Law engrossed in his studies at a grand lectern. The image, taken from the book "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries," published by Levy Fils in Paris in 1860, offers a rare glimpse into the scholarly world of the Middle Ages. The Doctor of Law, dressed in the finest attire of the time, wears a pink bonnet adorned with ermine trim, signifying his high academic standing. His scarlet robes, lined with ermine, are a symbol of his legal profession. The black shoes he dons complete the elegant ensemble. The Doctor's intense focus is evident as he reads from the open books before him, his hands delicately holding the pages in place. The intricately carved lectern, with its ornate decorations and richly colored fabric cover, adds to the grandeur of the scene. The setting for this scholarly moment is the Monument to Nicolas de' Jacopo in the Church of San Giacomo Maggiore, a testament to the importance of education and learning during the Middle Ages. The meticulously detailed illustration invites us to ponder the depth of knowledge and wisdom that the Doctor of Law holds in his hands, as well as the dedication and passion that drove him to attain such a distinguished title. In this image, Paul Mercuri and Camille Bonnard have captured the essence of scholarly pursuits during the 14th century, offering a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era.
