EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Isaac Judaeus, a renowned physician who served the rulers of Tunisia during the 9th-10th century. The image is taken from Liber chronicarum mundi (Nuremberg Chronicle) by Hartmann Schedel, published in Nuremberg in 1493. Isaac Judaeus was an influential figure whose medical works were among the first to be translated from Arabic to Latin. His expertise and knowledge made him highly esteemed as a royal physician. In this portrait, he is depicted wearing traditional Islamic attire, including a hat and robes, reflecting his Tunisian heritage. The woodcut print beautifully captures the essence of Isaac Judaeus' profession and religious background. It serves as a testament to the intersection of science, religion, and culture during that era. This historical artifact provides valuable insights into medicine practices of the time while also shedding light on Germany's fascination with foreign cultures. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and gravitas to this remarkable portrayal of Isaac Judaeus. Preserved by Oxford Science Archive, this fifteenth-century artwork continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and rich historical significance. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Isaac Judaeus' lasting impact on medicine as well as his contribution to bridging cultural gaps through his translations.
