EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, immersing us in the solemnity of a courtroom scene. The focus is on an oath-taking ceremony, where individuals are bound by their words and faith. The judge commands attention with his crimson cap known as a mortar, symbolizing authority and wisdom. His simar, made of gold brocade lined with ermine, exudes elegance and prestige. The oath-taker stands beside the judge, wearing a simar and hood that add an air of formality to their appearance. Their presence signifies the weightiness of their commitment before both God and society. Meanwhile, a witness stands nearby donning a short cape lined with marten fur, emphasizing their role as someone who will bear testimony to the truth. Every detail in this image speaks volumes about the fashion trends of that era. From doublets to stockings and cracows (pointed shoes), each element showcases the intricate craftsmanship and style prevalent during this period. This handcolored illustration drawn by Paul Mercuri transports us into history's pages through its vivid colors and meticulous detailing. It was lithographed alongside text written by Camille Bonnard for "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries" published in Paris in 1861. As we gaze upon this image captured from manuscript 6829 at Imperiale Library in Paris, we are reminded of how customs evolve over time while leaving remnants behind for future generations to admire and learn from.
