EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the book "Lo Quart del Cartoixa (The Fourth of the Cartoixa)" printed in Valencia in 1496. The page is a translation of Vita Christi, originally written by Ludolph of Saxony, a Carthusian monk. This remarkable piece of literature holds immense historical significance as it provides insights into religious life during the 15th century. The image captures the delicate details and intricate calligraphy that adorn this ancient manuscript. Every stroke of ink on parchment tells a story, reflecting the devotion and craftsmanship put into its creation. Preserved within the Episcopal Library in Barcelona, Catalonia, this treasure offers us a glimpse into medieval Catalan culture. The author's name, Joan Rois de Corella, is prominently displayed at the top of the page – an acknowledgment to his contribution to this translation work. The vertical layout adds elegance to the composition while emphasizing its authenticity. Photographed by Santiago Ortega with great care and precision, this print transports us back in time to an era when books were meticulously crafted by hand. It serves as a reminder of our rich literary heritage and invites us to appreciate both artistry and spirituality intertwined within these pages.
