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 126v 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 can be found in 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 intricately detailed illustration depicts various medicinal herbs and plants used for healing purposes during that era. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, it transports viewers back to a time when herbal remedies were highly valued. From shrubs to roots and veins to bonesetters, every element within this composition tells a story about ancient medical practices and their curative properties. This image serves as a reminder of our ancestors' knowledge and reliance on nature's gifts for treating ailments. As we admire this illuminating piece from centuries past, let us appreciate both the artistic brilliance behind it and the wisdom it holds within its pages – reminding us that even in our modern world filled with advanced medicine, there is still much we can learn from our historical predecessors' approach to healing through natural remedies.
