EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable 9th-century manuscript known as the "Bible of Charles the Bald". The image focuses on an intricate scene depicting the life of St. Jerome, a prominent Christian scholar and theologian. At the top, we witness St. Jerome embarking on a transformative journey from Rome to Jerusalem, symbolizing his quest for spiritual enlightenment. In the middle section of this extraordinary artwork, St. Jerome engages in an enlightening discussion with two revered saints - Paul and Eustogine. Behind them stands Saint Luke alongside two diligent scribes, emphasizing their crucial role in preserving religious texts. The bottom part of this masterpiece captures a pivotal moment as St. Jerome distributes copies of his monumental translation work - The Vulgate Bible - to devoted monks. This act not only highlights his dedication to spreading religious knowledge but also underscores the significance of written scripture within Christianity. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, this ancient manuscript serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic excellence during the reign of Charles the Bald (823-877). Its intricate details and rich symbolism offer us a glimpse into early medieval Christian culture while honoring one of its most influential figures – St. Jerome.
