EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable miniature from the Tacuinum sanitatis, an illuminated manuscript dating back to the late 14th century. The intricate artwork depicts a scene of tailoring, offering us a glimpse into the fashion and textile practices of that era. In this enchanting image, we see a tailor diligently at work in his workshop. With precision and skill, he measures fabric using tape and tests its quality with thread and needle. Tailor scissors lay nearby, ready to shape the cloth into fashionable garments. The vibrant colors used in this illustration bring life to the scene, highlighting both the craftsmanship involved in tailoring and the importance of clothing during medieval times. The architectural details surrounding the tailor's workspace provide further insight into this historical period. A double window allows natural light to flood in while showcasing decorative elements such as beams and cornices commonly found in French architecture of that time. Preserved within France's National Library collection, this extraordinary manuscript illumination not only offers us a visual feast but also serves as evidence of medicinal knowledge intertwined with daily life during the Middle Ages. It is truly fascinating how an image originally intended for educational purposes has now become an invaluable piece of our cultural heritage. Thanks to Santiago Ortega's exceptional photography skills, we can appreciate every delicate detail captured within this vertical composition. This print invites us on a journey through time—immersing ourselves in Western history while celebrating centuries-old traditions like sewing and tailoring.
