EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 13th century Italian manuscript, known as "Manuscript Facts of the Romans" or "De Factis Romanorum," is a testament to the rich artistic and historical heritage of Venice during the Middle Ages. Housed in St. Mark's Library, or Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, in Venice, Italy, this illuminated manuscript is a treasure trove of knowledge about the ancient Romans. The miniature painting depicted here showcases the daily life of Roman laborers, specifically bricklayers. The scene is set against the backdrop of a Gothic architectural structure, with the workers diligently toiling away on scaffolding. They are meticulously applying mortar to bricks using trowels, a common utensil used in masonry work during that era. The intricate details of their clothing, tools, and the construction site itself are rendered with remarkable precision and artistry. The manuscript's pages are filled with similar illustrations and texts, providing a comprehensive account of various aspects of Roman society, including their laws, customs, and history. This manuscript is a prime example of the high level of craftsmanship and dedication to preserving knowledge that characterized the medieval period in Europe. The use of vibrant colors, intricate details, and gold leaf in the miniature painting adds to its visual appeal and makes it a standout piece in St. Mark's Library. The manuscript's preservation in the library ensures that future generations can continue to learn from and be inspired by the rich history and culture of the Romans.
