EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from "The Book of Simple Medicine" by Mattheaus Platearius, dating back to the 15th century. The artwork, created by Robinet Testard, is a true testament to the beauty and intricacy of medieval manuscripts. In this particular folio, labeled as Ms Fr. Fv VI #1 fol. 122r, we are presented with a stunning depiction of various medicinal plants: Euphorbia Lathyris (caper spurge), Beechwort (costus root), Mint, and Fig. Each plant is meticulously detailed with vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes that bring them to life on the vellum page. As we explore the image further, our eyes are drawn to the top left corner where Euphorbia Lathyris stands tall amidst its lush foliage. Moving downwards towards the bottom left corner, we encounter Beechwort with its intricate roots spreading across the page. And finally, in the bottom right corner lies a beautifully rendered Fig tree alongside Cucurbita (cure). This remarkable piece not only serves as an artistic marvel but also provides insight into ancient herbal remedies and their healing properties. It is believed that this manuscript was possibly made for Louise of Savoy during her time as Charles of Angouleme's wife. Preserved within the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia, this illuminated masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its rich history and timeless allure.
