EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from "The Book of Simple Medicines" by Mattheaus Platearius, dating back to the 15th century. The artwork, created on vellum by Robinet Testard, measures 26x35.5 cm and is currently housed in the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. In this particular folio (fol. 119v), we are presented with a fascinating depiction of various medicinal plants including Cyperus, Calamus, and Crocus ostensis. Each plant is meticulously illustrated with vibrant colors and intricate details that bring them to life on the page. Believed to have been made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme, this medieval manuscript offers us a glimpse into the world of herbal medicine during that time period.

These plants were highly valued for their curative properties and played a significant role in traditional healing practices.

It reminds us of humanity's enduring quest for remedies derived from nature's bountiful
