EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Monastic school of the convent of the hermits of Saint Augustine in Paris. The scene depicts a monk standing on a pulpit, engrossed in reading a lecon (lesson) to an attentive group of students. Among them are teenagers with tonsures, indicating their dedication to religious life, but also laics (laypeople), suggesting that this educational institution was open to individuals from various backgrounds. The composition is rich with historical details, showcasing not only the academic setting but also glimpses into daily life within the monastery. On the right side of the image, we see a pound wheel, symbolizing labor and perhaps alluding to manual work carried out by those living within these walls. This miniature artwork is part of "Bible historiee" (Bible historiale), an influential text written by Pierre Comestor and translated by Guiart des Moulins during the 15th century. It offers insights into medieval education practices and provides valuable context for understanding monastic life during this period. Preserved at Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France, this photograph captures both scholarly pursuits and spiritual devotion intertwined within one space. Its timeless quality invites viewers to reflect on centuries-old traditions while appreciating how knowledge has been passed down through generations.
