EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature, taken from the Livre de Bonnes Meurs (Book of Good Manners) by Jacques Le Grant (m. 1415), provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of medieval moneylending. Dated to the 15th century, this illuminated manuscript is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the French school during the Middle Ages. The scene depicts a moneylender, likely a pawnbroker or usurer, seated inside a furnished room. He is intently focused on the coins spread out before him on the table, carefully examining each one. The room's interior is richly decorated, with intricate patterns adorning the walls and a large, ornate fireplace dominating the backdrop. The moneylender's attire is that of a man of means, indicating his prosperity and status in society. The practice of moneylending was a common occupation during the Middle Ages, particularly in Europe. Moneylenders provided loans to those in need, charging interest, or usury, for their services. This was a controversial practice, as it was often seen as exploitative and contrary to Christian teachings. However, it was also a necessary one, as there was a significant demand for loans to fund various endeavors, from business ventures to personal expenses. This miniature offers a unique perspective on the daily life of a moneylender during the medieval period. It also highlights the artistic and cultural achievements of the French school during this time, demonstrating the intricacy and beauty of illuminated manuscripts. The Livre de Bonnes Meurs, with its various illustrations, served as a guide for proper conduct and etiquette, providing valuable insights into the social norms and values of medieval society.
