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 145r of Ms Fr. Fv VI #1, is a testament to the skill and creativity of Robinet Testard, the illuminator responsible for its creation. Measuring at approximately 26x35.5 cm, this delicate piece of vellum transports us back to medieval times when herbal remedies were highly valued for their healing properties. The intricate details depict a beautiful cowparsley plant with its lush green leaves and delicate white flowers. It is believed that this manuscript was possibly made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. As we gaze upon this illustration, we can't help but imagine how these ancient medicinal practices were used to cure ailments and provide relief during those times. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork bring life to each element within the composition - from the curative qualities associated with cow parsley to the healing powers attributed to various plants and shrubs depicted throughout. As we admire this illuminated masterpiece preserved in St. Petersburg's National Library in Russia, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance as a window into our ancestors' understanding of medicine and nature's remedies.
