EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the medieval period, specifically to a bustling Salle des copistes au moyen age (copyist's room in the Middle Ages). The image, created by the French School in the 19th century, showcases a scene of intense activity within a monastery or priory. In this historic setting, we witness dedicated monks diligently engaged in their work as copyists. Surrounded by towering shelves filled with ancient manuscripts and texts, these friars meticulously transcribe and preserve knowledge for future generations. Their focus is unwavering as they carefully inscribe words onto parchment using quills and inkpots. The atmosphere exudes an air of tranquility amidst the flurry of activity. Soft rays of light filter through narrow windows, casting gentle shadows on the worn stone walls. Every detail has been captured by the skilled engraver, transporting us back to an era where progress was measured not only by technological advancements but also through intellectual pursuits. This print serves as an illustration for Les Inventions Merveilleuses (The Marvelous Inventions) written by Charles Brandon and published around 1875. It offers us a glimpse into a world that existed centuries ago – one where dedication to preserving knowledge was paramount. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of our own connection to history and how it continues to shape our present-day understanding.
