Biblioth X8c75 Illuminated Lesson Lyre Municipal Municipale Nicol Nicolas Sorbonne Theologian Theology Troyes Written 15th
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century illuminated manuscript page showcases a theological lesson delivered by the renowned French theologian, Nicolas de Lyre, also known as Nicolas de Troyes or Nicolas de Clamanges (1270-1340). The image, housed in the Municipal Library of Troyes, France, is a testament to the rich artistic and intellectual heritage of the Middle Ages. The miniature painting depicts Nicolas de Lyre, dressed in the robes of a scholarly theologian, seated at a table, surrounded by a group of students eagerly listening to his teachings. He holds a large open book in his hands, while a smaller book rests on the table before him. Intricately detailed, the page is adorned with an illuminated border, featuring a lyre, a symbol of music and knowledge, and various other decorative elements. Nicolas de Lyre was a prominent theologian and commentator on the Bible during the late Middle Ages. He was born in Champagne, France, and studied at the University of Paris, where he became a master of theology. He later served as the Chancellor of the University of Paris and was a prolific writer, producing numerous commentaries on the Bible and other theological works. This illustration provides a glimpse into the scholarly environment of the Middle Ages, where the exchange of knowledge and ideas was a cherished pursuit. The intricately written text and illuminated decoration of the manuscript serve as a reminder of the importance of learning and the beauty of the artistic traditions that flourished during this period.
