EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century miniature painting is a captivating illustration taken from the Codex Granatensis, a renowned manuscript created in the Kingdom of Granada, Spain during the late Middle Ages. The illustration depicts Thomas of Cantimpré (1201-1276), a Flemish theologian and naturalist, engaged in a lively conversation with a couple as they admire a cluster of ripe grapes. Thomas, dressed in the robes of a scholarly cleric, points towards the grapes, gesturing towards their natural properties and the wonders of God's creation. The couple, intrigued by Thomas' teachings, lean in to listen intently. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this Gothic artwork are a testament to the artistic mastery of the period. The rich hues of the grapes, the textured fabric of Thomas' robe, and the delicate features of the couple's faces all contribute to the overall beauty and allure of the scene. This illustration is an edition of the original 13th century manuscript, which is now housed in the University Library of Granada, Spain. The Codex Granatensis, also known as "De natura rerum" or "On the Nature of Things," is a significant work in the history of natural sciences, as it was one of the earliest comprehensive compendia of natural knowledge. This painting not only showcases the artistic achievements of the time, but also highlights the intellectual curiosity and appreciation for the natural world that characterized the Middle Ages.
