EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the F. 56r Table of Planets, a stunning vellum manuscript created by Matfre Ermengaut in the 14th century. Housed in the Biblioteca Monasterio del Escorial in Madrid, Spain, this French masterpiece is now out of copyright and available for all to appreciate. The intricate details of this artwork transport us back to medieval times when astronomy and astrology held great significance. The table depicts various planets with their corresponding symbols and names, providing an invaluable glimpse into early astronomical knowledge. Ermengaut's work is not only visually striking but also steeped in symbolism. The presence of a scythe suggests the ever-present concept of time and mortality, reminding viewers that even celestial bodies are subject to change. Known as "le breviaire damour" or "breviary of love" this piece serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with both the heavens above and matters of the heart. Its inclusion in historical texts like "breviario del amor" further emphasizes its importance within medieval culture. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and www. bridgemanimages. com, we can now admire this extraordinary creation from centuries past. Let us marvel at Ermengaut's skillful craftsmanship while contemplating our place within the vastness of the cosmos he so beautifully captured on vellum.
