CODEX ROTUNDUS

(English / Español / Italiano)

During the Medieval period, many illuminated codices and Books of Hours were produced: some of them are true gems to be admired and leafed through. Some have peculiarities that make them unique in the world: this is the case with the precious 'Codex Rotundus'.

The Codex Rotundus is rightly considered a fine example of medieval book culture, not only because of its size but especially because of its peculiar shape. Containing 266 pages written in Latin and French, the manuscript is rightly considered a unique example in that both the cover and the pages are cut in a circular shape, approximately 9 cm in diameter.

The 'Codex Rotundus' was written in 1480 in Latin and French. Unfortunately, we do not know the name of its author, only the place where it was made: Bruges. We can certainly say that the author of this Codex was an extraordinary artist, capable of painting very fine illustrations on very small sheets.

Currently, the 'Codex Rotundus' is kept in the Cathedral Library in Hildesheim, Germany.

Durante la Edad Media se produjeron numerosos códices y libros de horas iluminados: algunos de ellos son verdaderas joyas que hay que admirar y hojear. Algunos tienen peculiaridades que los hacen únicos en el mundo: es el caso del precioso "Codex Rotundus".

El Codex Rotundus se considera con razón un excelente ejemplo de la cultura del libro medieval, no sólo por su tamaño, sino sobre todo por su peculiar forma. El manuscrito, que contiene 266 páginas escritas en latín y francés, se considera con razón un ejemplo único en el sentido de que tanto la cubierta como las páginas están cortadas en forma circular, de unos 9 cm de diámetro.

El "Codex Rotundus" fue escrito en 1480 en latín y francés. Desgraciadamente, desconocemos el nombre de su autor, sólo el lugar donde se realizó: Brujas. Sin duda, podemos afirmar que el autor de este códice era un artista extraordinario, capaz de pintar ilustraciones muy finas en hojas muy pequeñas.

En la actualidad, el "Codex Rotundus" se conserva en la Biblioteca de la Catedral de Hildesheim (Alemania).

Nel periodo Medievale sono stati prodotti molti codici miniati e libri delle ore: alcuni di questi sono dei veri e propri gioielli da ammirare e sfogliare. Alcuni presentano delle peculiarità che li rendono unici al mondo: è il caso del prezioso “Codex Rotundus”.

Il Codex Rotundus è giustamente considerato un bell'esempio di cultura libraria medievale, non solo per le sue dimensioni ma soprattutto per la sua forma peculiare. Contenente 266 pagine scritte in latino e francese , il manoscritto è giustamente considerato un esempio unico in quanto sia la copertina che le pagine sono tagliate in una forma circolare , di circa 9 cm di diametro.

Il “Codex Rotundus” è stato redatto nel 1480 in latino e in francese. Purtroppo non si conosce il nome del suo autore ma solo il luogo dove è stato realizzato: Bruges. Possiamo certamente affermare che l’autore di questo Codex era un artista straordinario, in grado di dipingere illustrazioni di grande pregio su piccolissimi fogli.

Al momento il “Codex Rotundus”è conservato nella Biblioteca della Cattedrale di Hildesheim in Germania.

The Religious History Of Chess

At some point in history, priests were banned from playing chess because it was seen as a distraction and a waste of time. Some sources even say that it was a form of gambling and a step towards sinning, as it could cause bouts of frustration and draw forth other negative reactions.

Because of this, in the year 1125, a priest invented the first folding chessboard and made it look like two books were lying together to play his games in secret.
