EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the historical manuscript "Ms Fr. Fv VI #1 fol. 128v". The top row of the illustration features vibrant red clover and Aube, while the bottom row displays Bellidis species, Onobrychis, and Hyssopus nemorum. This exquisite artwork is an illustration from "The Book of Simple Medicines" by Mattheaus Platearius, believed to have been created around 1470. Measuring 26x35.5 cm, this vellum masterpiece can be found in the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. It was specifically crafted as a fifteenth-century version for Charles of Angouleme and Louise of Savoy. The image transports us back to medieval times when herbal remedies played a vital role in medicine. With its intricate details and delicate colors, it beautifully captures various medicinal plants used during that era. As we admire this piece by Robinet Testard (flourished between 1470-1523), we are reminded of the rich history behind it - a testament to human curiosity and our quest for knowledge about curative properties found in nature's bounty.
