EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing illustration from "The Book of Simple Medicines" by Mattheaus Platearius, dating back to the 15th century. The image, found in Ms Fr. Fv VI #1 fol. 122v Top Row, depicts a scene filled with wisdom and healing properties. At first glance, one's eyes are drawn to the top row where an array of vibrant sage plants and bupleurum flowers flourish. These botanical wonders were meticulously captured by Robinet Testard, a skilled illuminator of that era. The intricate details and delicate brushstrokes bring life to this ancient manuscript made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. It is believed that these pages served as a valuable resource for medicinal knowledge during medieval times. Sage has long been revered for its healing properties and was commonly used in herbal remedies. Bupleurum, also known as Thorow-wax or Hares Ear in English, holds its own significance within traditional medicine practices. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry preserved at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia, we are transported back in time to an era where illuminated manuscripts played a vital role in sharing knowledge about curative herbs and their applications. This print serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with nature's gifts and the timeless pursuit of wellness through herbal remedies passed down through generations.
