EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ms 210 fol 19v. Cartulary of Mont Saint-Michel: Pope John XIII making a gift of lands and privileges to the monastery of Mont St. Michel" transports us back in time to the 12th century. The image showcases an important historical moment as Pope John XIII presents a charter containing generous donations to Abbot Almod. In this intricate artwork, we see Pope John XIII depicted with authority, holding a sceptre symbolizing his power and influence. His gesture signifies the immense significance of the lands and privileges being bestowed upon the monastery. The manuscript itself is a cartulary, which serves as a collection of charters documenting grants made to religious institutions like Mont St. Michel. This particular cartulary holds great importance since it is the sole surviving medieval source for the monastery after the devastating destruction of its archives during World War II. Believed to have been created for either Abbot Robert de Torigni or his predecessor Abbot Geoffrey, this masterpiece offers valuable insights into medieval history and religious practices. The French School's attention to detail shines through in every stroke on this vellum piece measuring 35x24 cm. Preserved at Bibliotheque Municipale in Avranches, France, it stands as a testament to both artistic skill and historical preservation. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are granted access into an ancient world where papal authority meets monastic life—a visual reminder of how land and privilege were intertwined with religion during that era.
