EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from Book XX of the Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus. Created in 1503 by a talented French School artist, this piece is housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France. Commissioned by Cardinal Georges d'Amboise, Archbishop of Rouen, for his esteemed library at Château Gaillon, this artwork reflects the patronage and support given to Jean Pichore, one of Paris' most renowned manuscript illuminators during the early 16th century. Pichore's masterful hand can be seen throughout this edition of Flavius Josephus' work. The intricate borders surrounding the illustration were skillfully crafted by Jean Serpin, adding further depth and beauty to this remarkable piece. The heraldic arms displayed within are those belonging to Henri Arnauld, Bishop of Angers and second owner of this cherished book. Antiquitates Judaicae is a monumental history chronicling the Jewish people across 21 volumes written in Greek by Flavius Josephus during the first century AD. This particular edition features Rufinus' fourth-century Latin translation. With its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance captured on vellum parchment dating back to c. 1503, this print transports viewers into a world where ancient tales come alive through meticulous craftsmanship and devotion to preserving knowledge for generations to come.
