EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the ancient manuscript "Ms. De Diversis Herbis" by Dioscorides, specifically folio 165r. The image depicts a scene of tapping turpentine, beautifully rendered on vellum by an anonymous French artist in the 14th century. The artwork is housed in the prestigious Biblioteca Estense in Modena, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. Its intricate details and vibrant colors are illuminated through careful preservation and restoration efforts. In this particular illustration, we witness the delicate process of extracting turpentine from a tree trunk. A skilled individual delicately taps into the bark with precision to collect this valuable medicinal substance used for centuries. The manuscript itself serves as a comprehensive guide to various herbs and their medicinal properties. It stands as a testament to humanity's enduring quest for knowledge about health and well-being throughout history. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only the artistic mastery but also the scientific curiosity that drove our ancestors' exploration of nature's healing powers. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry and craftsmanship, let us marvel at how it bridges past and present while reminding us of our shared human pursuit for better health and understanding.
