EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines by Mattheaus Platearius, dating back to around 1470. The artwork, titled "Ms Fr. Fv VI #1 fol. 158r Orchid" was created by Robinet Testard and measures 26x35.5 cm. Housed in the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia, this medieval manuscript is believed to have been made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. The image depicts an exquisite orchid surrounded by various medicinal plants and herbs such as holly branch, bush, phallic plant, flower, zedoar root, and white tumeric - all known for their healing properties during that time period. The illuminated illumination beautifully captures the essence of nature's remedies with intricate details and vibrant colors. It serves as a testament to the ancient wisdom passed down through generations on curative practices. As we delve into this historical artifact's significance beyond its aesthetic appeal, it becomes clear that it represents more than just artistry; it symbolizes humanity's quest for wellness and our enduring relationship with nature's bountiful offerings. This remarkable piece invites us to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also the rich history behind herbal medicine and its role in providing remedies and cures throughout centuries past.
