EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines, created by Mattheaus Platearius in the late 15th century. The artwork, found on folio 154v of Ms Fr. Fv VI #1, is a testament to the skill and artistry of Robinet Testard, who beautifully illuminated this medieval manuscript. Measuring at 26x35.5 cm, this vellum masterpiece resides within the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. It is believed that this particular manuscript was possibly made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. The image itself depicts a fascinating array of herbs and flowers used for medicinal purposes during that era. From insect repellents to curatives and remedies for various ailments, each leaf and petal has been meticulously rendered with vibrant colors and intricate details. As we delve into the world captured within this illustration, we are transported back in time to witness the healing practices employed by ancient healers and bonesetters. The ranunculaceae family takes center stage here as its members were known for their potent healing properties. Through this photograph print brought to us by Bridgeman Images via Fine Art Finder, we can appreciate not only the historical significance but also marvel at how art intertwines with science in our quest for well-being throughout centuries past.
