Français : Sainte Catherine d'Alexandrie, gravure sur bois allemande coloriée à la main, vers 1470-1480
English: Saint Catherine of Alexandria woodcut with hand-colouring in red, green, yellow and light brown, with gum arabic on the red dress, circa 1470-80, by an anonymous German artist. The sheet has various small 15th- and 16th-century ink inscriptions in Latin and Greek in the blank background and margins :
The earliest inscription on this sheet, in the upper right corner in a German hand, can be dated to the late 15th century and is near-contemporary with the print. It reads: Nu[n]c lege nu[n]c ora nu[n]c cu[m] fervore labora Nu[n]c co[n]templa[r]e nu[n]c scripturas meditare No[n] sis in pausa ne mortis sis tibi causa Sic erit hora brevis et labor levis Just below this is an early 16th-century ownership inscription: Ao 1518 Michi […] Dno Georgi Pobeidezas […] The inscription in Greek to the right of the saint reads: γνῶθι σεαυτόν ('know thyself') The partially legible inscription to her left is roughly translatable as 'nothing is granted to God that isn’t given by God’: phi […] ad cognita[s] […] nullus ad deu[m] accedit ex se nisi […] datur a deo The inscription on the hem of her dress refers to the moon and the night: ultra concavi[…] orbis lune nocturnalis […] |
