EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 15th century, titled "Ms 399 fol. 35v Beggars, from Book of Proprietes" by Barthelemy the English. The image is taken from a vellum manuscript and is currently housed in the Bibliotheque Municipale in Amiens, France. The artwork depicts a scene filled with profound emotion and social commentary. It portrays several beggars, each bearing their own unique story of poverty and struggle. With crutches as their only support, these crippled individuals represent the harsh realities faced by marginalized communities during medieval times. The illumination technique used in this masterpiece adds an ethereal quality to the composition. The intricate details and delicate brushwork highlight both the gothic influences prevalent during that era and hints of renaissance aesthetics. Notably, Bartholomeus Anglicus, an early 13th-century scholar known for his compendium De proprietatibus rerum (an early precursor to encyclopedias), authored this book where this illustration originates from. This photograph offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us of our shared humanity across centuries. It serves as a poignant reminder that compassion towards those less fortunate has always been relevant throughout time.
