EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic "On the Jewish battle of Flavius Josephe, 1492" by Jacques de Besancon. The artwork, housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, depicts an important moment in Jewish history as chronicled by Flavius Josephus (around 37-100). Printed on parchment by Jean Maurand for Antoine Verard and partly illuminated by the Master of Jacques de Besancon, this masterpiece from 1492 holds immense cultural significance. What makes this print even more remarkable is its provenance. It once belonged to King Charles VIII of France, marking him as the first French king to possess printed material. This fact underscores the growing influence and accessibility of printed matter during that era. The image itself exudes a sense of antiquity with its rich colors and intricate illumination. It transports viewers back to a time when religious battles were fought passionately and offers a glimpse into medieval life. As we admire this piece, it reminds us not only of our shared European heritage but also highlights the importance of preserving historical artifacts like incunabula. Displayed at L'Europe et Gutenberg Exposition BnF Paris 2023 curated by Jean-Paul Paireault, this print serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and historical documentation. Its presence invites us to delve deeper into our collective past while appreciating the beauty that can be found within ancient manuscripts such as these.
