EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of the "Blazon Theological Faculty University Basel 1560" stained glass artwork. Measuring 42.5 x 31.5 cm, this piece is a true masterpiece from the renowned Ludwig Ringler, who was active in Basel between 1536 and 1606. The composition features a scroll cartridge at its base with the inscription "ORDO: THEOLOG: ACADE ÔÇó BAS: D [ONUM] D [EDIT]" emphasizing the importance of theological education at the University of Basel during that time. Above it, a blue stripe proudly displays the year "1560" marking an important milestone for both academia and artistry. Atop a stone block rests another inscription reading "PETRA ÔÇó AUTEM ÔÇó ERAT ÔÇó CHRiSTUS" symbolizing Christ as the foundation upon which knowledge and faith are built. Surrounding this central design are four allegorical figures representing Hope (SPES), Sight (VIDES), Justice (IVSTITIA), and Charity (CARITAS). These figures embody virtues essential to theological studies and serve as reminders to those within academia. Intriguingly, two coats of arms can be found in the arcade apex bearing names such as Martin Borrhavs, Wolfgang Wissenbvrg, and Ludwig Ringler himself. These individuals likely played significant roles in commissioning or supporting this remarkable artwork. Preserved through time, this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical significance within religious education at one of Europe's oldest universities.
