EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the fifteenth century, offering a glimpse into the education system of that era. The image portrays a school of mendicant monks disciplining a pupil through birching, an ancient form of punishment. From Paul Lacroix's renowned publication "Science and Literature in the Middle Ages" this illustration sheds light on the medieval educational practices. In this scene, we witness the solemnity and severity with which religious institutions approached teaching during those times. The young student stands before his mentors, surrounded by fellow pupils who observe intently. The monks, dressed in their traditional robes, hold birch rods firmly as they administer discipline upon the pupil's exposed back. The image serves as a reminder of how different education was centuries ago compared to our modern methods. It invites contemplation about how disciplinary measures have evolved over time and prompts reflection on current approaches to learning. Ken Welsh's skillful reproduction allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and artistic beauty captured within this 15th-century miniature. This print is not only an intriguing piece for history enthusiasts but also a thought-provoking conversation starter about educational practices throughout various periods in human civilization.
