EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a miniature page from the "Ecloga Legum" a legal manuscript dating back to 1175. The intricate artwork, created by an anonymous Italian artist in the 12th century, is housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, Italy. The characters depicted on this page are of great historical significance. From left to right, we see Justinian I (482 - 565), Leo I (457-474), and Constantine I the Great (270/288 - 337). Each figure represents a prominent ruler from different eras of Byzantine history. Justinian I was one of the most influential Byzantine emperors who implemented significant legal reforms during his reign. Leo I was known for his military achievements and diplomatic skills as emperor of Eastern Rome. Lastly, Constantine I the Great played a pivotal role in shaping Christianity and establishing Constantinople as the new capital of the Roman Empire. The exquisite illumination and attention to detail found within this miniature reflect both artistic mastery and reverence for these historical figures. This print offers viewers a glimpse into medieval times when manuscripts were meticulously crafted by hand. Giancarlo Costa's skillful capture ensures that this remarkable piece of history can be appreciated by all who admire art, culture, and ancient civilizations.
