EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of "La Dispute d'un Asne contre frere Anselme Turmeda" a printed edition in Pamplona, Navarra, dating back to 1606. Originally written in Catalan, this allegorical work is only known in its French version and is recognized as a plagiarized adaptation of an Arab fable from 1417. The cover design captures the essence of this 15th-century anticlerical satire with its depiction of cynicism and rationalism. The book's content delves into themes such as conversion, moralism, and humor while exploring the nature and nobility of animals. Written by Anselm Turmeda (1352-1423), a Franciscan writer from Majorca, it reflects influences from Arabic literature during the Middle Ages. Stored within the Library of Catalonia in Barcelona, this edition holds historical significance for Catalan literature and serves as a testament to cultural exchange between different regions during that era. It sheds light on intellectual pursuits prevalent in West Iberian Peninsula societies at the time. Santiago Ortega's vertical photograph allows us to appreciate not only the intricate details of the cover but also provides insight into Spain's literary landscape during this period. This image invites viewers to explore medieval literature through an intriguing lens while contemplating questions surrounding religion, society, and human nature.
