Twee fragmenten van tekst bij een prent van het tafereel van Cebes 1561 - 1596

This artwork is a pair of fragments of text from a printed version of the "Philosophi Thebani" a work by the philosopher Cebes. It is an anonymous work, which was created between 1561 and 1596, and is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. The work is in the form of two text fragments that are preserved on a white background, showing the text in a black color, and the artwork is reminiscent of the works of "Theban philosophers", the "Philosophi Thebani". The artwork could be seen as an example of early printing and is an interesting insight into how text was printed and distributed in the 16th century.
