EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured woodcut depicts St. Jerome, the renowned early Christian scholar and patron saint of librarians, in deep concentration as he studies in his rustic retreat. Dating back to 1522, this image is taken from the Halberstadt Bible, also known as the Biblia Dudesch. St. Jerome, dressed in the traditional Benedictine monk's habit, sits at a wooden table, surrounded by an array of books and parchment rolls. His intense gaze is fixed on the text before him, a quill pen in hand, ready to jot down his thoughts. In the foreground, a majestic lion, a symbol of St. Jerome's strength and courage, gazes up at the saint in admiration. The image is a testament to the deep reverence for learning and the written word that characterized the Christian faith during the Middle Ages. The use of vibrant hand-colouring adds depth and richness to the woodcut, making the figures and symbols leap off the page. The Halberstadt Bible, produced in the German city of Halberstadt, is a remarkable example of the intricate and detailed woodcut illustrations that graced many early printed Bibles. This image of St. Jerome in his study, with the powerful lion in the foreground, continues to inspire awe and admiration for the dedication and scholarship of the early Christian scholars.
