EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning folio page is taken from the Codex Granatensis: Tacuinum Sanitatis, a 15th-century manuscript originating from Granada, Spain. The manuscript is a fragment of a medieval handbook on health and wellness, based on the treatise Taqwin al-sihha (Tables of Health) of the 11th century by Ibn Butlan. The illustration on folio 85r depicts various fruits believed to strengthen the bladder, with the title "Dates" written above. The intricately detailed miniature painting is a prime example of Gothic art, showcasing the vibrant colors and fine brushwork typical of the period. The scene takes place in a sunlit exterior, with a couple enjoying the daytime sunlight as they identify and prepare the fruits. The horizontal layout of the page allows for a clear and comprehensive view of each fruit, making it an essential reference for those seeking to maintain good health during medieval times. The Codex Granatensis: Tacuinum Sanitatis is now housed in the University Library of Granada, preserving this valuable piece of history and art for future generations to appreciate.
