EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating title page to "The Doctrine of Fasting" by Arthur Hildersam, a print from 1633, transports us back to the heart of 17th-century England. This remarkable piece of religious art, part of the Stapleton Collection and now in private hands, showcases the profound influence of Puritanism during this era. Created by an anonymous English artist, this print was commissioned for the publication of Hildersam's sermon on fasting and prayer. The sermon itself was first delivered in 1625 and aimed to guide devout Christians on their spiritual journey towards humility and repentance for their sins. The intricate borders surrounding the title page reflect both Protestant aesthetics and theological themes prevalent at that time. They serve as a visual representation of the book's content while evoking a sense of reverence for Christian doctrine. "The Doctrine of Fasting" holds great historical significance as it offers insights into Puritanical beliefs and practices within Protestantism during this period. It stands as a testament to Arthur Hildersam's influential role as a preacher within his community. This print captures not only an exquisite work of art but also serves as a window into religious life in early modern England. Its presence reminds us that books were once cherished objects through which individuals sought guidance, solace, and spiritual enlightenment.
