EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of Jean Mielot, a prominent Burgundian scribe from the 15th century. The image, dating back to approximately 1455, is part of the esteemed collection at Bibliotheque Nationale de France. Jean Mielot was not only a secretary but also an accomplished author and translator for Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy. This portrait beautifully captures his essence as he sits in deep concentration amidst his writing materials. The fine art images and grisaille technique used in this illuminated manuscript add depth and richness to the overall composition. The photograph highlights various elements that reflect medieval times: an inkpot, quill pen, and writing case are meticulously arranged on Jean Mielot's desk. These writting implements were essential tools for scribes like him who dedicated their lives to preserving knowledge through manuscripts. Intriguingly, there is a sense of history and genre portrayed in this image as well. It transports us back to a time when scriveners diligently worked away in taverns or libraries, capturing stories and documenting events that shaped our past. This print serves as a remarkable testament to Jean Mielot's contribution to literature during the Middle Ages. It reminds us of the importance of written words and how they have shaped our understanding of history today.
