EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the Cod. CCXXXVII Lapparium, an ancient Herbarium Apuleii Platonicii. Created by the Italian School in the 15th century, this exquisite artwork is a testament to the enduring fascination with medicinal plants throughout history. Rendered meticulously in watercolor and ink on vellum, this particular section of the artwork captures our attention with its intricate details and vibrant colors. The botanical illustrations depict various herbs that were believed to possess healing properties during medieval times. The origins of this renowned herbal manuscript remain shrouded in mystery, as its authorship is unknown.

Regardless of its creator's identity, this piece has become widely popular and frequently reproduced over time. Displayed within the Biblioteca Capitolare in Verona, Italy, this masterpiece serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring quest for knowledge about natural remedies and their potential benefits for health and well-being. As we gaze upon these beautifully painted plants, we are transported back in time to an era when herbal medicine played a vital role in people's lives.
