EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the ancient world. In the image, we see a herdsman engrossed in an age-old ritual of burning antlers to ward off serpents. The photograph is derived from a 10th-century Byzantine manuscript called "Ms Supp Grec 247 fol. 3 A herdsman burning antlers to banish serpents" which depicts an excerpt from the Theriaca of Nicander of Colophon. The composition exudes an aura of mysticism and protection as the herdsman tends to a brazier filled with smoldering antler pieces. This act symbolizes his attempt to repel snakes, safeguarding himself and his flock against their venomous threat. As we delve into this visual narrative, we are transported back in time, witnessing the convergence of medicine, folklore, and nature's wonders. Nicander of Colophon was not only a revered Greek poet but also a physician who explored various remedies for ailments through his writings. His Theriaca delves into snakebites and their antidotes—a subject that fascinated both scholars and common people alike during that era. Through this remarkable artwork, we gain insight into ancient beliefs surrounding fumigation as a protective measure against reptilian dangers. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, humans have sought ways to coexist harmoniously with wildlife while harnessing nature's resources for their well-being. This evocative image invites us to contemplate our own relationship
