EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a geocentric representation of the solar system from the 14th-century manuscript "Treat de la sphere" by Jean de Sacro Bosco. The intricate details and precise craftsmanship in this illustration showcase the knowledge and understanding of astronomy during the Middle Ages. Jean de Sacro Bosco, also known as Giovanni Sacrobosco or John of Holywood, was a renowned astrologer and astronomer whose work built upon the foundations laid out by Claude Ptolemy in his Almageste. This particular plate from his manuscript provides a fascinating glimpse into how people in the Middle Ages viewed and conceptualized our place within the cosmos. The geocentric system depicted in this image places Earth at the center of the universe, surrounded by various celestial bodies such as planets and signs of the zodiac. The circular layout emphasizes harmony and order, reflecting prevailing beliefs about cosmic balance during that time period. Overall, this print serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring curiosity about the stars above us and our ongoing quest to understand our place in relation to them. It is a testament to both scientific inquiry and artistic expression that continues to inspire awe and wonder today.
