EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines, a medieval manuscript believed to have been made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. Created by Mattheaus Platearius in around 1470, this piece is a testament to the artistry and knowledge of the time. The artwork, measuring 26x35.5 cm, features intricate details that come alive on vellum. Painted by Robinet Testard, it depicts a scene filled with vegetation and herbalism - a true celebration of nature's healing powers. At the bottom lies wild parsnip, known for its curative properties in ancient medicine. The illuminated manuscript transports us back to an era where healers and bonesetters relied on their extensive knowledge of medicinal plants like pastinaca sativa to treat ailments. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes bring these botanical wonders to life. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded not only of the artistic skill involved but also the profound wisdom our ancestors possessed when it came to harnessing nature's remedies. This print serves as a beautiful homage to both the illuminator's talent and humanity's enduring quest for wellness through natural means. Displayed at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia, this historical treasure continues to inspire awe and fascination among those who appreciate both art and ancient healing practices alike.
