EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the historical manuscript, "Ms Fr. Fv VI #1 fol. 114v" filled with intricate illustrations of botanical wonders. In the top row, we are greeted by the delicate beauty of an Orchid and Fumitory or Bleeding Heart flowers, their vibrant colors captured flawlessly on vellum. Moving to the bottom row, our eyes feast upon Hedera (Ivy) and Iris blooms, each meticulously depicted in stunning detail. The illustration originates from "The Book of Simple Medicines" written by Mattheaus Platearius in the 12th century but was beautifully illuminated by Robinet Testard during the 15th century for Charles of Angouleme and Louise of Savoy. This remarkable piece measures 26x35.5 cm and is currently housed at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. As we delve into this enchanting artwork, we are transported back in time to a world where plants held curative powers and herbal remedies were highly valued. The c16th annotations added to this medieval masterpiece further enhance its significance as a testament to humanity's quest for knowledge about medicinal plants. Through this image, we can appreciate not only the artistic skill involved in creating such illuminations but also gain insight into our ancestors' understanding of nature's healing properties. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans sought solace and wellness through connections with flora – a timeless pursuit that continues to inspire us today.
