EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a 14th-century miniature depicting the "Blessing of the fair of Saint-Denis in Paris". The scene takes us back to the bustling streets of medieval France, where a bishop stands at the center, bestowing his blessings upon the city's vibrant market. The fair is in full swing as merchants from far and wide gather to sell their merchandise. Colorful stalls line both sides of the street, offering an array of goods that tempt passersby. The atmosphere is alive with excitement and anticipation as buyers haggle for prices and sellers showcase their wares. In this historical snapshot, we witness not only a momentary trade but also a glimpse into Parisian history during the Middle Ages. The bishop's presence signifies religious significance within this commercial event, reminding all participants that even amidst commerce, spirituality remains integral to daily life. The exquisite detail captured by Santiago Ortega brings this centuries-old manuscript illumination to life once again. Preserved within the National Library in Paris (Bibliothèque Nationale), this artwork offers us a window into an era long gone yet still resonating with echoes of its past glory. As we admire this horizontal print, let us appreciate how it encapsulates both cultural heritage and artistic mastery. It invites us to reflect on our own modern-day markets while acknowledging their roots in ancient traditions. This photograph serves as a reminder that history continues to shape our present and future endeavors – whether through trade or blessings bestowed upon cities like Paris throughout
