EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the historical manuscript "Ms. Lat 209 fol. 11r The Professions, from De Sphaera" by Cristoforo de Predis. Housed in the Biblioteca Estense in Modena, Italy, this vellum masterpiece offers a glimpse into the diverse world of professions during medieval times. The image depicts various trades and crafts that were integral to society's functioning. Starting from the top left corner, we see a scribe diligently transcribing texts, followed by a painter meticulously adding colors to his canvas. Moving down to the second row, there is a clockmaker skillfully assembling timepieces and next to him stands a sculptor shaping stone with precision. Intriguingly positioned at the center are images representing daily life activities related to food and hospitality. A talented cook or chef can be seen tending to dishes on a stove while nearby lies an inviting café setting for patrons' enjoyment. Additionally, we witness a server gracefully bringing food to tables filled with eager diners. This illuminated manuscript not only provides insight into medieval craftsmanship but also offers glimpses of social history and everyday life during that era. It beautifully captures moments of laborious work as well as scenes of communal dining and leisurely indulgence. Through this photo print, viewers are transported back in time where they can appreciate both the artistic beauty of this illuminated manuscript and gain valuable knowledge about medieval professions and their significance in society's fabric.
