EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the renowned medieval compendium, "De Proprietatibus Rerum" by Bartholomeus Anglicus. Painted in tempera on vellum by Pierre Remiet around 1390, this French translation of Jean Corbechon is a true masterpiece measuring 40.8x30.5 cm and currently held in a private collection. Bartholomeus Anglicus, an influential scholar born before 1203 and passing away in 1272, authored this compendium which served as an early precursor to encyclopedias. The book's title translates to "On the Properties of Things" and it remains one of the most significant sources of medieval knowledge. This particular print is likely the earliest surviving copy in French and stands out as one of the finest examples still privately owned today. It exudes wisdom and academic prowess through its depiction of various elements such as armillary spheres, dragons, scientists engrossed in their studies, and intricate calligraphy. The illuminated initial letters add further charm to the manuscript while demonstrating its importance within educational circles during that era. The pages are adorned with ornate foliage motifs that beautifully frame the text written meticulously by hand. With references to astrology, celestial bodies like orbs, astronomy instruments like armillary spheres, and gilded illustrations throughout its pages; this print serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and a valuable historical artifact for those interested in medieval scientific knowledge. Overall, this print captures not only the beauty but also the intellectual significance embodied within Bartholomeus Anglicus' "De Proprietatibus Rerum. "
