1387 Canterbury Chaucer Horse Back Spurs Tales Manciple
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "The Manciple Riding with Spurs," is a historical print of Geoffrey Chaucer's Manciple character, taken from the illuminated manuscript of the Canterbury Tales, circa 1387. Chaucer, the renowned English poet and author, is best known for his collection of stories, the Canterbury Tales, which chronicles a group of pilgrims on their journey to Canterbury Cathedral. The Manciple, one of the many colorful characters in Chaucer's tales, is depicted here riding on horseback, his face set with determination as he urges his horse forward with a pair of spurs. The intricate detail of the illustration showcases the Manciple's elegant attire, complete with a fur-trimmed coat, a conical hat, and a long, flowing beard. The background of the print features a lush, green landscape, with trees and rolling hills adding to the sense of movement and adventure. The Canterbury Tales, a masterpiece of medieval literature, was first published in 1476, but the manuscript from which this image is taken is believed to have been created around 1387, making it an invaluable historical artifact. The tales themselves are a rich tapestry of medieval life, filled with humor, wit, and insight into the social and cultural fabric of the time. This evocative print of the Manciple riding with spurs is a testament to the enduring appeal of Chaucer's work and the rich history of medieval literature. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of horseback journeys, illuminated manuscripts, and the timeless stories of the Canterbury Tales.
