EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant miniature from the Codice Justiniano Institutiones Feodorum et Alia, an illuminated manuscript dating back to the 14th century. The scene depicted is none other than the bustling "Market of the Merchants". Transporting us back in time, this image captures the essence of medieval commerce and trade. The market square is abuzz with activity as merchants clad in civilian clothes engage in various transactions. The architectural backdrop reflects the distinctive medieval architecture prevalent during that era. Amidst this lively atmosphere, we see barrels and containers filled with goods waiting to be bought or sold. Traders meticulously weigh their wares using ancient balances while others exchange money for valuable commodities. A dealer even negotiates a sale of a horse nearby. Adding an ethereal touch to this earthly scene is a guardian angel watching over these merchants, symbolizing divine protection amidst their daily endeavors. The color palette used by the Bolognese School illuminates every detail with precision and elegance, enhancing our appreciation for both artistic mastery and historical significance. Preserved within Italy's Universitary National Library in Turin, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into an era where commerce thrived as cities flourished across Europe. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring spirit of entrepreneurship and reminds us of our shared history rooted in trade and economic growth.
