EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking 16th-century handcolored illustration by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard, lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, we find a Benedictine Abbot deeply engrossed in the study of the Holy Scriptures. The Abbot, dressed in the traditional garb of his order, wears an embroidered mitre adorned with intricate designs and crosses, symbolizing his spiritual authority. In his right hand, he holds a large, ornate Bible, its pages carefully turned to a place of deep contemplation. In his left hand, he carries a crook, a pastoral staff that represents his shepherd's role in guiding his monastic flock. The Benedictine Order, founded by St. Benedict of Nursia in the 6th century, is one of the oldest and most influential monastic traditions in Western Christianity. The Order's monks and nuns have long been known for their commitment to the study of the Scriptures and the pursuit of a contemplative, prayerful life. This image captures the essence of the Benedictine vocation - a life dedicated to God through the study of the Word and the care of the spiritual needs of one's community. The illustration is taken from Georges Duplessis' "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867. The meticulous attention to detail in the illustration and the high-quality lithography are a testament to the importance of historical record and the appreciation for the richness and diversity of European fashion and culture during this period.
