EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical moment of the Foundation of the University of Bologna by Emperor Theodosius II and the privileges granted by Pope Paul II. Created by an Italian School artist in the 15th century, this vellum artwork is a testament to both religious and educational significance. The image portrays a scene filled with regal figures adorned in robes and crowns, including Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius II himself. Seated alongside him are cardinals, priests, and representatives from various religious orders. Their presence symbolizes the collaboration between secular and ecclesiastical powers in establishing this prestigious institution. Pope Paul II's papal tiara further emphasizes his role as a key figure in granting privileges to support the university's foundation. This act not only solidifies its legitimacy but also highlights the importance placed on education during that era. The composition exudes solemnity as these influential individuals come together for a common purpose: to establish an institution dedicated to knowledge and intellectual growth. It serves as a reminder of how religion played an integral part in shaping early universities. Preserved within Archivio di Stato in Bologna, Italy, this remarkable piece offers us insight into centuries-old traditions that continue to shape our modern understanding of academia today.
