EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a twelfth-century illustration of St Dunstan, the revered Archbishop of Canterbury. Painted at Canterbury itself, this artwork forms part of a Latin commentary on the rule of St Benedict and is currently housed in the prestigious British Library. In this depiction, we see St Dunstan portrayed as a diligent scribe, fully immersed in his religious duties. Dressed in vibrant blue robes and adorned with a bishop's cloak, he sits with utmost concentration at his writing desk. The intricate details capture every aspect of his attire - from the folds of his clothing to the quill pen he holds delicately in hand. St Dunstan's significance as an influential figure within Christianity is evident through this illustration. His commitment to spreading religious teachings and preserving ancient manuscripts shines through as he meticulously transcribes sacred texts. The photograph beautifully captures not only the artistic mastery behind this twelfth-century piece but also provides us with a glimpse into medieval England's rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these timeless works continue to inspire awe and reverence for those who encounter them today. Credit: 1996-98 AccuSoft Inc. , All rights reserved
