EDITORS COMMENTS
This 14th-century print titled "Livestock, sheep, goats and pigs" takes us back in time to the world of agriculture and animal husbandry. The illuminated artwork is a part of the renowned "Tacuinum sanitatis" a medieval manuscript dedicated to medicine and dietetics. In this scene, we are transported to a bustling farm where livestock roam freely. Sheep, goats, and pigs can be seen grazing peacefully under the watchful eye of a shepherd. The artist's attention to detail allows us to witness the daily activities involved in caring for these animals. The image not only showcases the importance of livestock in providing sustenance but also highlights their role in ancient medicine. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people recognized the healing properties found within nature. The print evokes thoughts about food production during medieval times – from breeding healthy animals for meat consumption to maintaining hygiene standards necessary for good health. It offers glimpses into an era when doctors relied on natural remedies derived from plants and animals. As we admire this historical artwork by an unknown artist preserved at Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense in Milan, we are reminded of our deep connection with nature and how it has shaped our understanding of health throughout history.
