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 129v 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 may have been made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. The illustration itself depicts a variety of curative plants and herbs with incredible detail and precision. Delicate flowers bloom alongside sturdy stems and lush leaves, showcasing nature's healing power through their vibrant colors and intricate patterns. Amongst these botanical wonders are cornflowers (centaurea montana) and pulmonaria - both known for their medicinal properties throughout history. This image serves as a reminder of humanity's age-old quest for remedies and cures derived from Mother Nature herself. As we gaze upon this illuminated artwork, we are transported back to a time when herbal medicine was highly valued for its healing potential. It is a testament to our enduring fascination with harnessing nature's gifts to improve our well-being.
