This book challenges the long-held belief that medieval artists were forbidden from signing their works, revealing a wealth of signatures and inscriptions that shed light on the lives and motivations of these talented individuals. Before delving into the heart of the matter, the author provides a thorough historical context, examining the medieval perception of humility, the role of artists in society, and the evolution of the "no signature" axiom. With meticulous research, the book unravels the origins of this widely accepted notion, tracing it back to the 19th century and its proponents' desire to romanticize the Middle Ages. The author then embarks on a captivating journey through the centuries, presenting irrefutable evidence of signed medieval artworks. From the intricate illuminations of the 9th-century Codex aureus de Saint Emmeran to the exquisite miniatures of the 13th-century Bible moralisà e, each signature unveils the hidden stories of the artists behind these masterpieces. This groundbreaking work offers a refreshing perspective on medieval art and its creators. It challenges preconceived notions, reveals the richness and diversity of artistic expression during this period, and provides valuable insights into the lives and creative processes of these remarkable individuals.
