scriptorium
Humanity’s journey towards spiritual redemption
Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark
for the straightforward pathway had been lost
scriptorium ring
Look at this ring whose setting has the form of a “scriptorium”. In the Middle Ages the Scriptorium was a convent room or a desk intended for the work of scribes, usually adjacent to or located in the library. There the monks carried out the work of transcribing the codes, embellishing them with miniatures. And what does this scriptorium show us? It tells a double story, one for each side: the first canto of hell from the Divine Comedy and the triumph of the divine light of heaven. It reproduces two prints made by Gustave Doré in 1860.
