Fimbrez Indignum Memorare Design Rationale and Historical Context Fimbrez: Indignum Memorare, Latin for “Unworthy to be Remembered”, is a personal homage to medieval manuscript design and the tradition of scribe humility. Inspired by the self- effacing colophons of the Middle Ages, where scribes ended their work with phrases like “Remember the poor sinner who wrote this”, the title reflects a reverence for creation over personal acclaim. The design integrates elements of illuminated manuscripts, intricate line work, symbolic ornamentation, and stylized typography, reinterpreted with a contemporary aesthetic. The cover painting is also my original work, created specifically to match the style, color palette, and tonal depth of the period, reinforcing the unity of form and concept. By placing my name alongside Indignum Memorare, I explore the medieval tension between authorship and anonymity, and highlight the ideal that the true value of design lies in the enduring power of thoughtful creation, not recognition.
