EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "Ms 927 Fol. 17v Theological and Cardinal Virtues, from Ethics" by Aristotle, a masterpiece created by the French School in the 15th century. Housed in the Bibliotheque Municipale in Rouen, France, this illuminated manuscript is a testament to both artistic skill and intellectual depth. Intricately detailed, the image showcases various symbolic elements that represent virtues such as prudence, fortitude, justice, hope, temperance, and charity. Amongst these attributes are swords and castles denoting strength and protection; a flame symbolizing passion; windmills representing industry; dragons signifying courage; clocks reminding us of time's fleeting nature; mirrors reflecting self-reflection; hearts embodying love. However, it is an extraordinary scene at the center that truly captivates viewers' attention - a bird feeding its own young with its blood. This poignant depiction serves as a powerful metaphor for sacrifice and selflessness. The illumination's vibrant colors bring life to each element while intricate details showcase medieval craftsmanship at its finest. Nicolas Oresme's translation adds another layer of historical significance to this remarkable piece. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to an era where artistry intertwined effortlessly with philosophical thought. It reminds us of our collective pursuit for virtue and offers timeless wisdom still relevant today.
