This print showcases the intricate and awe-inspiring "Ms 993 fol. 114 Properties of the Sky" from Le Livre des Proprietes des Choses, a masterpiece by Jean Cordichon. Created on vellum during the 14th century, this French School artwork is housed in the Bibliotheque Municipale in Reims, France.

This remarkable manuscript offers a glimpse into the world of astronomy during the Middle Ages. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring curiosity about our place in the cosmos and our quest for knowledge about celestial bodies. The attention to detail is astonishing; every stroke of ink brings life to this gothic-inspired miniature. The astrolabe and other scientific tools depicted emphasize how science was intertwined with everyday life even during this medieval period. Through its exquisite illumination, this artwork transports us back in time while reminding us of our eternal connection to the skies above.
