EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration on vellum depicts Pippin III the Short (714-768), also known as Pippin the Bold or Pippin the Hunchback, who reigned as the King of the Franks from 741 to 768. The miniature painting is part of Manuscript 4 of the Codex Legum Longobardorum, which was created in the Lombard School during the Romanesque art period in Italy, around the year 1004. The illustration was produced in the region of Campania, specifically in the town of Salerno, near Cava de Tirreni, and is now housed in the archives of the Abbey. Pippin III is depicted in an upright, portrait style, with a serious expression and a hunchback, as indicated by his name. He is shown wearing a royal robe, adorned with intricate patterns and a crown on his head. The king is also accompanied by two horses, which symbolize his power and wealth. The use of vibrant colors and detailed shading adds to the illuminated effect of the manuscript, making it a remarkable example of medieval art from the Middle Ages. Pippin III was an important figure in Western history, as he played a significant role in the Frankish kingdom and the development of Europe during the medieval period. His reign marked the end of the Merovingian dynasty and the beginning of the Carolingian dynasty, which would go on to shape Europe for centuries to come. This illustration provides a valuable glimpse into the past, offering insight into the art, culture, and history of the time.
