EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the last codicil of Louis IX, written in August 1270 on a delicate piece of parchment. The image captures the historical significance and artistic beauty of this document, which is housed at the Centre Historique des Archives Nationales in Paris, France. The codicil itself holds great importance as it represents the final addition to King Louis IX's will. It names Gui, Dean of St. Martin of Tours, and the Archdeacon of Dunois as his trusted executors. This Latin decree was composed within the confines of a camp near Carthage during August 1270. The photograph reveals intricate details such as a yellow wax seal hanging from a double parchment tail - although fragmented over time, its presence adds an air of authenticity to this ancient artifact. The text is handwritten with remarkable precision and elegance, showcasing the craftsmanship that went into creating such important documents during that era. Louis IX was known for his devout faith and strong leadership as King of France. This print offers us a glimpse into his final wishes and testamentary decisions before his passing. It serves not only as a valuable historical record but also as an exquisite example of medieval calligraphy and royal documentation.
