EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from an early 16th century edition of the "Shepheards Kalendar" depicts the Four Humors with their representative animals, offering a glimpse into ancient beliefs about behavior and temperament. Hippocrates of Cos, an influential figure in ancient Greece around 400 BC, theorized that one's disposition was determined by the balance or imbalance of these four humors within the body. In this full-length illustration, we see four individuals embodying each humor alongside their corresponding animal companions. The choleric humor is represented by a man standing tall with a lion at his side, symbolizing power and dominance. The sanguine humor is depicted through another man accompanied by an ape, reflecting liveliness and sociability. Next to them stands a phlegmatic individual holding onto a sheep, representing calmness and tranquility. Lastly, we witness a melancholic figure accompanied by a pig—a creature often associated with sadness and introspection. The artist skillfully captures the essence of these temperaments through intricate details such as headdresses and allegorical painting techniques. This horizontal composition allows us to observe all four people looking away in contemplation while surrounded by nature's beauty. As we admire this historical artwork steeped in symbolism and cultural significance, it serves as a reminder of how our understanding of healthcare and medicine has evolved over time.
