EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Ordeal by water and fire" captures a significant moment in legal history. Created by the German School in the 9th century, this lithograph is a facsimile of the Codex Lambacensis, an ancient collection of rules and laws. Housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, it offers us a glimpse into primitive judicial systems. The image depicts a scene of justice being served through an ordeal. In this archaic practice, individuals accused of crimes were subjected to extreme tests such as immersion in water or exposure to fire. The outcome determined their guilt or innocence. This engraving showcases elements of Carolingian script and highlights the harshness of punishment during that era. It serves as a reminder of how far our modern legal system has evolved over time. As we delve into this historical artwork from eArchives Charmet, we are transported back to Lambach where these ordeals took place centuries ago. This print not only sheds light on past methods but also sparks contemplation about the nature of justice itself. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another remarkable piece that invites reflection on our own understanding and appreciation for law and order throughout different periods in human civilization.
