EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the renowned work of Aristotle, specifically his Nicomachean Ethics and Politics. Created in 1452 on vellum by John Russell, this exquisite piece is now preserved by the Warden and Scholars of New College, Oxford. The image captures the intricate details of this medieval manuscript, featuring ornate decorations that adorn the text. The Latin translation provided by Leonardi Bruni and William Warham adds an additional layer of historical significance to this masterpiece. As we delve into the composition, our eyes are drawn to a magnificent eagle depicted within a capital letter. This symbolizes wisdom and power - attributes often associated with Aristotle's teachings. Alongside it stands a winged bull, representing strength and stability. The combination of humanist script and grotesque imagery further enhances the visual appeal of this artwork. Each stroke meticulously crafted by Russell brings life to these ancient philosophical treatises. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only Aristotle's profound ideas but also the craftsmanship involved in preserving such knowledge for future generations. It serves as a reminder that art can transcend time, allowing us to connect with great thinkers who have shaped our understanding of ethics, politics, and philosophy as a whole.
