EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines, a medieval manuscript believed to have been made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. Created by Mattheaus Platearius in the 12th century and beautifully illuminated by Robinet Testard in the late 15th century, this artwork measures 26x35.5 cm and is currently housed at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. The illustration depicts a scene filled with curative wonders as various medicinal plants take center stage. Vibrant flowers, delicate fronds, and intricate leaves are meticulously rendered with stunning detail. Amongst these botanical treasures is the avena or oats plant, known for its healing properties. This image transports us back to a time when herbal remedies were highly valued for their therapeutic benefits. It serves as a reminder of humanity's long-standing relationship with nature's pharmacy and our continuous quest for wellness. Through this photograph print, we can appreciate both the artistic skill that went into creating such illuminations and the knowledge preserved within these ancient texts. It invites us to explore not only the physical beauty but also the intellectual wealth contained within historical manuscripts like this one. As we gaze upon this enchanting composition, we are reminded of how art has always played an essential role in documenting our understanding of medicine throughout history – bridging science and creativity together harmoniously.
