EDITORS COMMENTS
Justus Lipsius: A Scholar in Ruff and Fur (1547-1606) This portrait captures the intellectual and scholarly prowess of Justus Lipsius, a renowned Flemish humanist and philosopher of the late 16th century. Born in 1547 in the Spanish Netherlands, Lipsius is best known for his contributions to the fields of history, philosophy, and classical studies. The image, dated 1606, reveals Lipsius in the height of fashion for the time, donning a ruff collar and a fur-trimmed robe. The ruff, a high, starched collar, was a symbol of the scholar's status and learning during the Renaissance period. The fur-trimmed robe, a sign of wealth and prestige, further underscores Lipsius's standing in the academic community. Despite his impressive attire, Lipsius's gaze remains focused intently on the open book in his hands. His lined forehead and furrowed brow suggest deep concentration, indicating his dedication to his scholarly pursuits. The book, with its aged pages and worn edges, serves as a testament to the countless hours Lipsius spent immersed in study and research. Lipsius's impact on European thought is evident in his numerous publications, including "Six Books of Politics," which influenced the political theories of Thomas Hobbes and Niccolò Machiavelli. His work on the history of Rome, "De Magistratibus Romanis," remains a seminal text in the study of ancient Roman politics. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man whose intellectual curiosity and dedication to the pursuit of knowledge left an indelible mark on European thought. The lined forehead, the fur-trimmed robe, and the open book all serve as reminders of Lipsius's enduring legacy as a scholar and philosopher.
