EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the renowned German jurist, Nicolas Vigel (1529-1600). Born in Strasbourg, Vigel made significant contributions to the field of law during the late Renaissance period. He studied law at the University of Basel and later became a professor of law at the same institution. Vigel is best known for his groundbreaking work, "Institutiones iuris universi," a comprehensive legal text that covered both Roman and customary law. This work was influential in the development of European legal systems and was widely used as a textbook throughout Europe for over two centuries. The image captures Vigel in a thoughtful and contemplative pose, reflecting on the intricacies of the law. His serious expression and furrowed brow convey a deep understanding of the complexities of the legal world. The richly textured background and intricate details of the print add to the sense of depth and historical significance. Vigel's legacy extends beyond his legal writings. He was also a prolific writer on various other subjects, including history, theology, and politics. His works were published in several languages, making him a respected figure in intellectual circles throughout Europe. Despite his many accomplishments, Vigel's personal life was marked by tragedy. He lost his wife and several children at a young age, and his only surviving son died before him. Nevertheless, Vigel continued to dedicate himself to his work, leaving a lasting impact on the development of European legal systems. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Nicolas Vigel, a man who dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge and the betterment of the legal world. His contributions continue to be studied and appreciated by scholars and legal professionals to this day.
