EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 15th century. Titled "Ms 139. Augustine, De cura pro mortuis gerenda, in Italian transl. Della cura che ci debba avere per i morti, f. 1r" this work is an illuminated manuscript created on parchment. The image features an inhabited initial [L], beautifully adorned with a portrait of Augustine within an intricately decorated floral border. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every brushstroke, highlighting the skill of the illuminator - Gherardo del Flora (1445-97) & Monte del Flora (1448-1549). Displayed with kind permission from the Earl of Leicester and the Trustees of the Holkham Estate, this artwork holds historical significance as it represents a translation into Italian of Augustine's work on caring for the deceased. In addition to its artistic value, this manuscript also bears great cultural importance through its inclusion of Guicciardini family arms in the lower border – symbolizing their association with Florence during that period. As we admire this photograph print today, we can appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also recognize it as a testament to human creativity and intellectual pursuits during one of history's most fascinating periods – late 15th century Italy.
