Heinrich Seuse: Horloge of Wisdom (Bourges: André Rousseau, 1470)

            Taste, perhaps the most intimate of the five senses, has often been given minimal attention in philosophical lore; too closely identified with the body and our animal nature, most ethical theories assume that taste presents base temptations that must be controlled in a moral life. Yet while taste brought about the fall from grace, it is similarly the food and drink offered to us by Christ that will heal us from all our ancient pains: for, by taking on flesh, God allowed us to taste him so that, through that which we are (human), we might taste that which we are not (divine).

This miniature of the Last Supper is the work of the renowned French illuminator Jean Colombe (c. 1430-1493) who formed a long-lasting partnership with the scribe, André Rousseau (fl. 1470).
