EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Ms 2028 fol. 2 The Trojan origins of the French nation" takes us back to the enchanting world of medieval manuscripts. Created by an anonymous French artist in the 15th century, this vellum artwork is a page from the Grandes Chroniques de France, housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris. The image depicts an intriguing mythological narrative - "Comment les Francais descendent des Troyens" or "How the French descend from the Trojans". It showcases a significant belief during that time, suggesting that the Merovingian kings of France traced their lineage back to ancient Troy. With meticulous attention to detail, this masterpiece transports us to a bygone era. We witness scenes inspired by Greek mythology and classical literature: warriors engaged in battle during the legendary Trojan War, and ultimately witnessing the fall of Troy itself. This extraordinary manuscript serves as a testament to both historical events and mythical tales interwoven into one captivating visual representation. Its significance lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its contribution to understanding medieval genealogy and origin myths. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of our connection with history's rich tapestry and how it continues to shape our present-day understanding of culture and heritage.
