EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print depicts the renowned philosopher-theologian, Duns Scotus (1266-1308), as a medieval copyist at work. Born in Scotland, Duns Scotus was a significant figure in the High Middle Ages, contributing significantly to European thought through his scholasticism teachings. He is often referred to as "Doctor Subtilis," or the "Subtle Doctor," due to his intricate and nuanced approach to Christian theology. Duns Scotus is shown here in monastic attire, seated at a table with an open book before him. In his hands, he holds a quill pen, meticulously copying the text of his magnum opus, "Scriptum quartum," also known as "Opus Oxoniense" or "The Oxford Treatise." This work is a commentary on Peter Lombard's "Sententiae," a foundational text for scholastic theology. The image, which dates back to 1517, is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Catalonia in Spain. Duns Scotus' influence on Christian thought extended far beyond Scotland and the United Kingdom, shaping the intellectual landscape of Europe during the High Middle Ages. His ideas continue to be studied and debated by scholars in various fields, including philosophy, theology, and literature. This print offers a captivating glimpse into the life of a pivotal figure in European intellectual history. As a philosopher, theologian, and copier, Duns Scotus embodies the scholarly spirit of the Middle Ages, leaving an indelible mark on Christian thought and European literature.
