EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the miniature of the Codex Purpureus Rossanensis, an ancient Greek manuscript believed to have originated from Antioch of Syria or Cesarea Palestina. Housed in the Diocesan Museum of Rossano in Cosenza, Italy, this Byzantine artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess of its time. The image captures four Greek evangelists depicted in intricate detail and vibrant colors. Dressed in period costumes, they are shown engaged in various scenes depicting moments from the life of Christ. The illuminated manuscript beautifully portrays their devotion and dedication to spreading the teachings of Jesus. Notably, one figure stands out with sightless eyes, symbolizing blindness or disability. This inclusion highlights both biblical narratives surrounding miracles performed by Jesus on blind individuals as well as societal attitudes towards disabilities during that era. The photograph offers viewers a glimpse into ancient European history while also shedding light on medical practices prevalent at that time. It alludes to Asklepios (Asclepius), the Greek god associated with healing and medicine, suggesting a connection between faith and healthcare services provided within asklepieions (healing temples). Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured this significant piece of Byzantine art through George Tatge's lens for Alinari Archives. Through this photo print, we can appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also gain insights into religious beliefs, historical context, and medical understanding during antiquity.
