EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the 15th century, we witness a poignant moment between a physician and his patient. The unknown artist skillfully captures the essence of medical care during the Middle Ages, as the doctor administers a treatment made with medicinal plants. The scene is set in Prague's National Library, where this historical artwork now resides. The print belongs to "Tractatus de pestilentia" a significant manuscript from that era. It offers us an invaluable glimpse into healthcare practices and beliefs at that time. As we observe the interaction between these two figures, we are reminded of the tireless efforts put forth by physicians throughout history to alleviate human suffering. The doctor's expertise and compassion shine through as he carefully tends to his patient's needs. Medicinal plants were highly valued during this period for their healing properties. This engraving serves as a testament to their importance in treating various ailments prevalent during that time. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured every intricate detail of this scene, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, let us reflect on how far medicine has come while acknowledging our debt to those who paved the way for modern healthcare practices.
