EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a precious artifact, the Bible of St Antimo. Preserved in the Civic Museum of Montalcino, this manuscript is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Europe during the Romanesque period in the Middle Ages. The image captures two bishops depicted within scripture 195, verse from Volume II of this remarkable Bible. The intricate illuminations and delicate calligraphy highlight the skill and artistry involved in its creation. Dating back to the 12th century, this ancient artwork serves as a window into religious practices and communication during that time. The photograph itself was taken in 1979 by Alinari, Fratelli - an esteemed photographer known for their ability to capture historical treasures with precision and detail. Through their lens, we are transported back to an era where fashion played a significant role even among clergy members. The clothing worn by these bishops reflects both their status within society and their commitment to Christian religion. As we admire this stunning piece of history, it is impossible not to be awed by its significance spanning over multiple centuries – from its creation in the first millennium A. D. , through countless generations until it found its place within Montalcino's Civic Museum. Let us cherish such artifacts that connect us with our past while reminding us of how far we have come as a civilization. This print serves as a reminder that knowledge can be preserved through various mediums like writing instruments or manuscripts – bridging gaps between different epochs for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
