EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 13th century print depicts the Brotherhood of Charite-Dieu of Notre Dame in the process of settling their accounts at the recovery of Rouen. The Brotherhood, also known as the Hospitaliers de Notre-Dame de Charité de Jerusalem, was a religious and charitable organization founded in the late 12th century in Normandy, France. The brotherhood was dedicated to the care of the sick and the poor, and its members lived in community, following a rule based on the Rule of St. Augustine. The scene depicted in the print shows the brothers gathered around a large table, carefully examining ledgers and scrolls as they settle their financial accounts. The room is filled with the soft glow of candles, casting long shadows and adding an air of solemnity to the proceedings. In the foreground, a brother reads aloud from a large book, while another brother writes in a ledger. A third brother holds a balance scale, weighing coins or other objects to ensure accuracy in the accounting. The brothers take their responsibilities seriously, as the efficient management of their resources was essential to the success of their mission. The settlement of accounts was an important annual event, ensuring that the brotherhood's funds were being used effectively and equitably. The brothers would have been accountable to both their superiors and to the wider community, who relied on their charitable work. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a medieval religious community, revealing the importance of financial management and record-keeping in the pursuit of their charitable mission. The Brotherhood of Charite-Dieu of Notre Dame played a significant role in the provision of care for the sick and the poor during the Middle Ages, and this image serves as a reminder of their enduring legacy.
