EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms 1626 / 1 f. 20 Construction of the Abbey, from the Censier de l'Abbaye Sainte-Genevieve, 1270" takes us back to the medieval era in Paris. The image showcases a scene of intense construction work as a group of dedicated individuals labors tirelessly to build the magnificent Abbey. The French School's artistic prowess is evident in this illuminated manuscript that beautifully captures every detail of this historical moment. Amongst the workers, we can spot a female stonemason skillfully carving intricate designs into stone while being watched over by a nun who blesses their efforts. Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris, stands tall and proud amidst this bustling construction site. Her presence symbolizes divine protection and guidance for all those involved in erecting this grand structure. The manuscript also provides valuable insight into the administrative side of building such an abbey through its inclusion of a censier - a comprehensive list detailing all fees paid by those associated with the abbey. As we admire this remarkable piece from Centre Historique des Archives Nationales in Paris, we are reminded not only of the architectural marvels created during medieval times but also of the dedication and collaborative spirit required to bring them to life. This photograph serves as both an homage to our rich history and an inspiration for future generations.
