EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ms 362, a remarkable manuscript known as Valerius Maximus, Factorum et Dictorum Memorabilium Libri. The bookhand featured in this image is a prime example of semi-humanistic script from the 15th century. Crafted on parchment by an anonymous scribe, possibly hailing from North-East Italy or Veneto, during the second quarter of the 15th century. The delicate strokes and elegant curves of this semi-humanistic hand demonstrate the meticulous craftsmanship that characterized Italian manuscripts during this period. The text itself contains memorable deeds and sayings collected by Valerius Maximus, offering readers a glimpse into ancient Roman history and wisdom. With kind permission from the Earl of Leicester and the Trustees of the Holkham Estate, we are fortunate to have access to this exquisite piece of artistry. Its historical significance is further enhanced by its out-of-copyright status. As we delve into its pages, we are transported back in time to witness not only the literary treasures contained within but also appreciate the skillful execution behind each stroke of ink on parchment. This manuscript serves as a testament to both artistic expression and intellectual pursuit during one of Europe's most transformative periods. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving fine art heritage, we can now admire and study this extraordinary artifact without limitations or commercial restrictions.
