EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Circumcision, as depicted in Hartmann Schedel's Liber Chronicarum. Created by the German School in the 15th century, this woodcut showcases the meticulous artistry of the era. The image portrays an intense surgical scene where a skilled surgeon delicately wields his scalpel during this Jewish ritual. The patient lies calmly, trusting in both the surgeon's expertise and the significance of this ceremony. This woodcut is part of Schedel's Nuremberg Book of Chronicles, which documented various historical events. Beyond its artistic value, this print offers a glimpse into ancient medical practices and cultural traditions. It serves as a reminder of how rituals have shaped societies throughout time and highlights medicine's role in these customs. Preserved within private collections today, this piece continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and historical significance. As we observe this image, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also reflect on how it connects us to our shared human experiences across centuries.
