EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Ms. Fr. 22532 Fol. 118 Leper, from Le Livre des Proprietez des Choses" by Barthelemy l Anglais, a remarkable piece of artwork from the 15th century French School. Housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this vellum manuscript depicts a leper holding a cliquette (or cliq), an instrument used by lepers to attract attention. The artist behind this masterpiece is Bartholomeus Anglicus, an early 13th-century scholar and member of the Franciscan order known for his compendium De proprietatibus rerum. This work serves as an early precursor to encyclopedias and provides valuable insights into various subjects. The image portrays the plight of those afflicted with leprosy during medieval times when they were outcast and banished from society due to their illness. The illumination skillfully captures the isolation and exclusion faced by these individuals while shedding light on the medical understanding of leprosy at that time. Translated by Jean Corbichon, this manuscript sheds light on epidemics and contagious diseases prevalent during that era. It serves as a reminder of how far medicine has progressed over centuries in combating such illnesses. Through its intricate details and historical significance, this print offers viewers a glimpse into both the artistic prowess of Barthelemy l Anglais and the social context surrounding leprosy in medieval Europe.
