EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the "Novella in Decretales: beginning of Book V, De accusationibus" manuscript, dating back to the 14th century. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of this Italian School artwork are truly awe-inspiring. The page measures approximately 44.7x27.5 cm, with the text itself spanning 35.0x19.2 cm. Created on parchment by various talented individuals including Iohannes Andreae (Giovanni d Andrea), Nicol di Giacomo di Nascimbene (attributed), and Bartoli dei Bartolomeo (scribe), it is now housed at the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the UK. This illuminated manuscript transports us back to a time when religion played a central role in society. The vibrant blue hues, burnished gold leaf accents, and delicate acanthus scrolls create an atmosphere of reverence and spirituality. The scene depicted within this particular page portrays a court hearing or legal proceeding involving clergymen and lawyers dressed in their distinctive vestments and mitres. A cardinal presides over them from his cathedra while an official records proceedings using meticulous script on scrolls. The historiated initial adds another layer of visual storytelling as it captures our attention with its miniature illustration embedded within an ornate letter 'D'. This piece serves not only as a testament to medieval artistry but also offers valuable insights into ecclesiastical practices during that era. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still marvel at this remarkable piece today – a true treasure that bridges centuries past with our present appreciation for fine art and cultural heritage.
