EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and treasured book from the 15th century, titled "Aristotelis libri IV de coelo et mundo Cum Expositione S. Thomae de Aquino et Cum Additione Petri Alverniae". The book features Aristotle's profound insights on celestial matters, accompanied by the enlightening commentary of St. Thomas Aquinas and an additional explanation by Peter of Alvernia. Printed in Venice in 1495, this edition is a testament to the enduring impact of ancient wisdom. The intricate engraving captures the essence of knowledge and holiness intertwined. A depiction of heavenly bodies such as the moon, sun, and earth can be seen alongside an instrument resembling a compass, symbolizing mankind's quest for understanding. The artwork evokes awe-inspiring thoughts about our place in the universe during that era when geocentrism prevailed. It reminds us how people perceived their world before modern scientific discoveries reshaped our understanding of astronomy and cosmology. Preserved within a private collection today, this remarkable piece invites contemplation on humanity's eternal pursuit of truth across centuries. Its historical significance lies not only in its content but also in its existence as a tangible artifact from an era long past. Giancarlo Costa has skillfully captured this extraordinary image through his lens, allowing viewers to appreciate both its artistic beauty and intellectual depth. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are transported back to a time when philosophers like Aristotle and theologians like St. Thomas Aquinas sought to unravel the mysteries that surround us all - reminding us that curiosity knows no bounds throughout history.
