Created by Mattheaus Platearius in the late 15th century, this illuminated manuscript is a treasure trove of knowledge on curative and healing herbs. The artwork, skillfully executed by Robinet Testard, measures 26x35.5 cm and resides in the esteemed National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. It is believed that this medieval manuscript was possibly made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. In this particular illustration, we are transported to a world where spirits reside within roots. The central focus lies on a mandragora plant with its vibrant leaves and delicate flowers surrounded by an oak sapling, ferns, shrubs, and other herbal elements.
