EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting illustration is taken from the 15th century edition of "De Materia Medica," or "On Medical Substances," by the renowned Italian botanist and scholar, Pietro Mattiolo. The scene depicts a cinnamon seller in an upright, vertical composition, set against a richly colored Middle Eastern backdrop. The illustration is a prime example of Gothic art, with intricate details and a sense of depth that draws the viewer in. The cinnamon seller is depicted in the middle of the scene, dressed in Middle Eastern attire, with a large pile of cinnamon sticks on a table before him. He holds a small scoop in one hand, ready to measure out the fragrant spice for a customer. The warm, inviting color of the cinnamon contrasts beautifully with the cool, muted tones of the background, creating a striking visual effect. The illustration is part of the "Tractatus de herbis," or "Treatise on Herbs," a section of "De Materia Medica" that describes the medicinal properties and uses of various herbs and spices. The work was a groundbreaking contribution to the field of botany and pharmacology, and its intricate illustrations were produced by some of the finest artists of the time. This particular illustration is housed in the Estense Library in Modena, Italy, a treasure trove of rare and valuable manuscripts and prints. The library's collection is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Italy and the enduring influence of the Gothic artistic tradition.
