EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines by Mattheaus Platearius, dating back to the 12th century. The artwork, titled "Ms Fr. Fv VI #1 fol. 158v Ferns, Brambles and Flowers" was created by Robinet Testard and measures 26x35.5 cm. The intricate illumination depicts a lush scene filled with ferns, brambles, and various flowers that were believed to possess curative properties during medieval times. Asplenium, trichomanes, naidenhair, and spleenwort are among the medicinal plants beautifully rendered in this piece. Highlighted within the composition are ripening blackberries – symbolic of both healing and nourishment. Their vibrant colors stand out against the backdrop of green foliage as they grow on thorny creepers. This remarkable illustration served as a visual guide for herbal remedies in ancient medicine. It is said to have been part of a manuscript possibly made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. Preserved at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia, this illuminated masterpiece transports us back in time to an era when nature's bounty held immense power in providing relief and cures for ailments. Through its detailed portrayal of flora known for their medicinal properties combined with its artistic finesse and historical significance, this artwork continues to captivate viewers even centuries after its creation.
