EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Utopiensium Alphabetum, also known as the Utopian Alphabet, from the 1518 third edition of Sir Thomas More's renowned work, Utopia. The woodcut depicts the fictitious language used on the island of Utopia and is believed to have been designed by Pieter Gillis, a close friend of More to whom the book is dedicated. The intricate woodcut features 22 symbols representing each letter of this unique alphabet. Published in Basel, this photograph captures a page from the third edition that includes a quatrain written by Gillis himself at its bottom. This remarkable piece combines artistry with linguistic innovation. Utopia, first published in 1516, stands as an influential masterpiece of literature and political philosophy during the Renaissance period. More's novel presents an idealistic society on an imaginary island where social harmony and justice prevail. The Utopian Alphabet exemplifies not only their advanced language but also their progressive ideals. With its historical significance and artistic value, this print transports us back to a time when utopian dreams were explored through literature and imagination. It serves as a testament to Sir Thomas More's enduring legacy as well as his contribution to European humanist thought. Displayed within private collections today, this image offers viewers a glimpse into an era where fiction merged seamlessly with political commentary—a true treasure for enthusiasts of classic literature and those fascinated by utopian visions throughout history.
