1897 Ernest Guillot Latin Manuscript Ornamentation Psalter 14th
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning reproduction showcases a page from a French psalter, a religious text used for private devotions during the Middle Ages. Dating back to the end of the 14th century, this page is a testament to the intricate beauty and craftsmanship of medieval manuscripts. Housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France under the catalog number 13091, this psalter is a prime example of the ornate decoration and calligraphy that characterized these sacred texts. The Latin text on this page, written in a flowing script, is interspersed with elaborate illustrations and intricate ornamentation. The central image depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, surrounded by angels and saints. The border of the page is adorned with intricate floral and geometric designs, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the time. This reproduction is a chromolithograph from Ernest Guillot's "Ornementation des Manuscrits au Moyen-Age" (Ornamentation from Manuscripts of the Middle Ages), published in 1897. Guillot's work was a groundbreaking study of medieval manuscript decoration, and this image offers a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the Middle Ages. The intricacy and detail of this reproduction allow us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of this medieval psalter, and to imagine the awe and reverence with which it would have been viewed by its original owners.
