EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite example of Uncial writing, a distinct script style used during the Merovingian period in France. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this colour lithograph provides a glimpse into the world of paleography and rare manuscripts from the Middle Ages. The intricate details of this Uncial writing are beautifully captured, revealing its unique characteristics such as rounded letters and absence of lowercase or punctuation marks. The script originates from a 6th-century Merovingian manuscript, making it an invaluable piece of historical significance. Published in The Worlds Great Classics by The Colonial Press in 1899, this image is part of a collection that celebrates choice examples of paleography. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage found within European manuscripts. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to an era when handwriting was considered an art form. The rubrication technique employed here further enhances its visual appeal with vibrant red accents added for emphasis and decoration. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, we gain insight into both French history and European medieval literature. It reminds us of the importance placed on preserving our written past and appreciating the craftsmanship involved in creating these magnificent manuscripts.
