EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a remarkable moment in history as Cornelius Nepos, the renowned Roman biographer of the 1st century BC, stumbles upon a hidden treasure. As he opens an old wardrobe, his eyes widen with astonishment and curiosity. What lies before him is none other than the long-lost History of Troy by Dares the Phrygian. This exquisite miniature from "Le Roman de Troie" transports us back to the 12th century when Benoit de Sainte-Maure penned his epic tale. The unknown artist skillfully captures Nepos' awe and reverence for this invaluable discovery. His face reflects a mixture of excitement and scholarly delight as he realizes the significance of what he has found. The scene is set within a grand library adorned with ancient furniture and illuminated manuscripts that speak volumes about intellectual pursuits during that era. The blazoned coat of arms proudly displayed on the wall hints at both wealth and noble lineage associated with such knowledge-seeking endeavors. As we gaze upon this image, it reminds us of our own fascination with history – how it shapes our understanding of civilizations past and present. It serves as a reminder that even in today's digital age, there is something enchanting about holding an antique book in one's hands and delving into its pages to uncover forgotten tales. This photograph invites us to embark on our own journey through time, embracing bibliophilia while honoring those who came before us in their relentless pursuit of knowledge.
