1491 Attitude Basin Bishop Caesarea Historian Prayer Bazin
EDITORS COMMENTS
Thomas Basin, also known as Thomas Bazin or Thomas Basanus, is depicted in this evocative print in an introspective and prayerful moment. Born in France around 1412, Basin rose to become the Bishop of Caesarea in the Holy Land between 1474 and 1491. His extensive historical writings have left an indelible mark on the study of the Crusades and the history of the Eastern Church. The Bishop is shown here with a serious expression, his eyes closed in deep concentration, hands folded in front of his chest in the traditional posture of prayer. The intricate details of his ecclesiastical robes, adorned with crosses and other symbols of his religious authority, add to the solemnity of the scene. His flowing white beard and balding head further emphasize his advanced age and wisdom. Basin's historical works, including "Historia Hierosolymitana" and "Historia Ecclesiastica," are invaluable sources for understanding the political, social, and religious landscape of the Mediterranean world during the late Middle Ages. His firsthand accounts of the Crusades and the Eastern Church provide unique insights into the complexities of the period. Despite his significant contributions to history, Basin is often overshadowed by more famous figures of the time. This print offers a rare glimpse into the personal side of this influential Bishop and historian, reminding us of the human element behind the historical record.
