EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning 15th-century artwork titled "Ms 1591 Fol. 38r Herba negra" by the Italian School. Housed in the Museo Provinciale d Arte in Trento, Italy, this vellum manuscript page is a testament to the rich heritage of art and medicine. The image depicts an intricately illuminated herbal illustration that exudes both wisdom and beauty. The Herba negra, or black herb, takes center stage as its medicinal properties are highlighted. According to ancient lore, when cooked in strong oil and applied to dog bites, it acts as a potent cure for rabies. The artist's attention to detail is evident through delicate brushstrokes that bring life to each leaf and petal. This botanical masterpiece serves not only as an artistic marvel but also as a valuable source of medical knowledge from centuries past. Rooted in nature's abundance, this enchanting plant thrives on cool and dark hillsides—a testament to its resilience amidst challenging environments. Its significance extends beyond physical healing; it represents the profound connection between humans and their natural surroundings.

Let us cherish this exquisite fusion of artistry and science—an eternal reminder that wisdom can be found even within the pages of an illuminated manuscript.
