EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of an ornamental letter in a 14th-century manuscript. The artwork depicts the renowned philosopher-theologian, Duns Scotus, lecturing his students during the late 14th century. Created on vellum by an unknown English School artist, this masterpiece is housed at Cambridge University Library in the United Kingdom. Duns Scotus, also known as John Duns Scotus, was a Scottish scholastic theologian and one of Western Europe's most influential thinkers.
