EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, depicting "Scenes from the life of Christ, and doctors with patients" dating back to around 1300. Illuminated miniatures beautifully illustrate incidents from the life of Jesus Christ in the top row, while below, we witness doctors tending to patients afflicted with various wounds and ailments. This illustration is derived from Chirurgia (Surgery), a renowned manuscript authored by Roger of Salerno. The significance of this image lies not only in its artistic value but also in its historical context. The town of Salerno in Southern Italy boasted Europe's earliest medical school during the flourishing periods of the 11th and 12th centuries. It was within these walls that knowledge regarding medicine and surgery thrived. Intriguingly, this artwork captures both spiritual devotion and scientific progress intertwined within medieval society. The juxtaposition between scenes from Christ's life and physicians attending to their patients symbolizes mankind's pursuit for healing through faith as well as empirical understanding. With vibrant colors that bring each detail to life, this print serves as a testament to the dedication and expertise displayed by physicians during those times. It reminds us how far medicine has come since then while honoring the foundations laid by individuals like Roger of Salerno. Through this photographical reproduction, we are granted a glimpse into an era where art merged seamlessly with science—a true testament to humanity's unwavering quest for knowledge and compassion towards one another.
