EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant and bustling scene of a Merchants Guild from the manuscript Justiniano Institutiones Feodorum et Alia, dating back to c. 1300. Created by the Bolognese School in the 14th century, this exquisite piece is housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale in Turin, Italy. The image captures a vivid array of elements that epitomize medieval commerce and trade. In the foreground, barrels filled with coins symbolize wealth and prosperity while hinting at lucrative business transactions taking place. A bridle lies nearby, representing transportation and mobility essential for merchants during that era. Illuminated figures of angels grace this artwork, perhaps signifying divine blessings upon these traders as they engage in their commercial endeavors. Horses play a significant role too; racehorses gallop alongside ponies and shire horses, reflecting various modes of transportation available for carrying goods across vast distances. Livestock such as farm animals further enhance this lively market scene - an assortment of vendors can be seen selling their wares amidst animated conversations between buyers and sellers. Wooden beer barrels add another layer to this vibrant tapestry, suggesting both sustenance for weary travelers and indulgence after successful deals. Overall, this remarkable print offers us a glimpse into medieval commerce through its intricate details and rich symbolism. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of merchants during that time period while reminding us of our enduring fascination with trade throughout history.
