EDITORS COMMENTS
(Jerusalem Delivered), an epic poem by the Italian poet Torquato Tasso, was first published in 1581. This image is a print of the Chant I from the 1788 Venice edition of the work. The poem, which tells the story of the First Crusade and the siege of Jerusalem, was a significant literary achievement of the 16th century. The engraving showcases the epic's dramatic narrative, with the central figure of Tancred, a Crusader knight, standing resolute amidst the chaos of battle. Surrounding him are scenes of intense conflict, as Christian soldiers clash with the Saracen defenders of the city. The vibrant colors of the print bring the image to life, adding to the sense of energy and excitement. The poem, which was also known as "La Gerasalemme liberata," was widely popular in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries, and was translated into many languages. This print, with its intricate detail and rich colors, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Tasso's work. The image is housed in the Episcopal Library of Barcelona, Spain, a repository of valuable historical and cultural materials. The library, which dates back to the 15th century, holds a vast collection of rare books, manuscripts, and other documents related to the history of Catalonia and beyond. This print, with its connection to one of the most celebrated works of Italian literature, is a prized addition to the library's holdings. Overall, this print of "Gerusalemme Liberata" is a stunning example of the artistic and literary achievements of the 16th and 17th centuries. It provides a glimpse into the rich history of European literature and the enduring power of the epic form.
