EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms Hunter 252 f. 183r A Lecture and Strewing Rushes in the Streets" takes us back to the 15th century, immersing us in a scene from Les Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles. Preserved within the walls of Glasgow University Library, this vellum manuscript is a treasure that offers a glimpse into the courtly entertainment of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy. The image showcases an intricately illuminated initial letter 'e', drawing our attention to an animated town square bustling with activity. A lectern stands at its center, where a distinguished figure delivers an engaging sermon to captivated listeners. The arrival of someone important is heralded by villagers strewing rushes on the streets as they eagerly await their guest's arrival. Intriguingly, mounted on horseback and wearing a crown, this dignitary symbolizes power and authority. The exquisite details captured by the artist transport us to medieval times when horses were not only modes of transportation but also symbols of wealth and prestige. As we delve deeper into this remarkable artwork, we are reminded that it represents more than just historical significance; it embodies artistic mastery through its meticulous illumination techniques and intricate miniatures depicting village life. Through this photograph print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate both the beauty and cultural importance held within Ms Hunter 252 f. 183r - a testament to human creativity across centuries past.
