EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from Ms 169, a 15th-century manuscript titled "Tractatus de sacramento Eucharistiae" by Johannes de Turrecremata. The exquisite craftsmanship of this Italian School artwork is evident in the intricate details and elegant script displayed on the parchment. The text is written in a humanistic bookhand style with some cursive features, indicating the influence of Renaissance calligraphy during that period. Dark grey ink was used for rubrics and marginalia, adding depth and contrast to the page. An initial [A] in vibrant red catches the eye, serving as an ornate embellishment at the beginning of the passage. The meticulousness of this anonymous Tuscan scribe/decorator shines through their workmanship, showcasing their skill and dedication to preserving knowledge through beautiful manuscripts. This particular piece was created sometime after 1436, placing it firmly within the cultural context of fifteenth-century Italy. Thanks to kind permission from the Earl of Leicester and Trustees of Holkham Estate, we have access to this remarkable artifact today. Its historical significance cannot be overstated; it offers us a glimpse into both religious practices surrounding sacraments during that era and artistic techniques employed by skilled craftsmen. As we admire this image captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its role as a testament to human creativity throughout history.
