EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century miniature painting depicts Jean Cordichon, a Franciscan friar, presenting the translated encyclopedic work "Book on the Properties of Things" by Bartholomaeus Anglicus to King Charles V of France, who was renowned for his wisdom. The scene unfolds in the grandeur of Gothic art, with intricate details and vibrant colors that bring the moment to life. The "Book on the Properties of Things," originally written in Latin, was a comprehensive encyclopedia that covered various aspects of natural philosophy, theology, and science. Its translation by Cordichon, a Frenchman, made this valuable knowledge accessible to the French court and the wider public. In the painting, King Charles V, dressed in regal attire, sits on his throne, attentively listening to Cordichon as he explains the significance of the book. The king's expression shows his deep interest and engagement, emphasizing the importance of knowledge and learning during this period. The Municipal Library of Reims, France, houses this precious piece of art and history, which serves as a testament to the enduring value of knowledge and the role of translators in disseminating it. This miniature painting not only showcases the artistic prowess of the time but also highlights the pivotal moment when knowledge was shared and appreciated by the ruling elite, contributing to the intellectual growth of the society.
