EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from MS Hunter 251, a medical treatise by John of Arderne dating back to the 15th century. The artwork depicts a zodiac man, meticulously created with pen and ink on vellum by an English School artist. Each zodiacal symbol is intricately painted on different parts of the body, starting from Aries for the head and face all the way down to Pisces for the feet. The purpose behind this fascinating depiction was to demonstrate how specific astrological signs influence various parts of the human body. By understanding these connections, physicians could determine the most favorable times for performing medical operations or treatments. This unique blend of esoteric knowledge and scientific practicality exemplifies both early Renaissance humanism and medieval medicine. It reflects a time when celestial bodies were believed to have a profound impact on human health and well-being. The intricate details in this illustration highlight not only its artistic beauty but also its historical significance as a manual for medical practitioners during that era. This piece serves as a testament to the intersection between science, astrology, and art in Northern Renaissance culture. Preserved within Glasgow University Library's collection in Scotland, this remarkable image offers us insight into centuries-old beliefs about health, astrology, and our connection with celestial forces.
