EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless scene of knowledge and wisdom being passed down from a learned professor to his young students. The image is a miniature illustration found on page 24 of the renowned medieval work, Gesta Romanorum, translated from Latin in 1395 by Fra Antoni Canals. Created during the 14th and 15th centuries, this exquisite piece of Catalan literature showcases the rich cultural heritage of Catalonia. The professor stands tall in front of his attentive pupils within the chapter house, adorned with vibrant colors and intricate Gothic decorations. His animated gestures and engaging teaching style captivate the young minds before him, as they eagerly absorb every word he imparts. This snapshot provides a glimpse into an era when education was highly valued and revered. Located in Barcelona's Municipal History Archive, this historical gem serves as a testament to Spain's intellectual legacy. It reminds us that even amidst the bustling city life of Barcelonés, knowledge has always been cherished. Through Santiago Ortega's lens, we are transported back to an age where reading was not just an activity but rather an art form celebrated through beautifully illustrated manuscripts like Gesta Romanorum. This photograph encapsulates both the beauty of medieval craftsmanship and the importance placed on education throughout history.
