EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Pandects of Justinian, a significant Latin manuscript dating back to the 6th century. The colour lithograph, created by an anonymous American School artist in the 19th century, offers us a glimpse into the world of paleography and rare manuscripts from the Middle Ages. The intricate details of this page are truly remarkable. The rubrication technique used to highlight important sections with red ink adds depth and visual appeal to the text. As we explore this legal document, we can imagine its significance in shaping ancient laws and regulations during Emperor Justinian's reign. Published as part of "The World's Great Classics" by The Colonial Press in New York & London in 1899, this particular image is now housed within a private collection. Its inclusion in this esteemed publication speaks volumes about its historical value and contribution to our understanding of legal history. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back centuries ago when scribes meticulously transcribed texts by hand. This photograph not only serves as a testament to human ingenuity but also reminds us of how knowledge was preserved through generations before modern printing techniques emerged. As we appreciate this exquisite piece of artistry and scholarship, let us reflect on how these ancient manuscripts continue to inspire curiosity and awe among scholars and enthusiasts alike.
