EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning vellum print from the 15th century French School depicts Ms 399 The Properties of Birds, taken from 'Livre des Proprietes des Choses' by Barthelemy l'Anglais. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life a variety of birds such as chickens, swans, geese, ducks, and cockerels in a medieval setting.
Barthelemy l'Anglais was an early 13th-century scholar known for his compendium De proprietatibus rerum, which served as an early precursor to the modern encyclopedia. His work delved into the characteristics and properties of various objects in nature, including birds.
In this illuminated manuscript, we see each bird meticulously illustrated with its unique features highlighted. From the graceful swan gliding on a pond to the proud rooster crowing at dawn, each bird is captured in exquisite detail that showcases both their physical attributes and symbolic meanings.
The gothic style of illumination adds an extra layer of beauty to this piece, making it not just a scientific study but also a work of art. This print serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with nature's creatures and how they have been depicted throughout history.
