EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, "De Materia Medica by Dioscorides" edited with commentary by Petrus de Albano and published in Val D Elsa by Johannes de Medemblick in 1478. The book, bound in exquisite leather and adorned with watercolor and paper elements, is a true testament to the craftsmanship of the Italian School during the 15th century. What sets this particular edition apart is its fore-edge painting, skillfully executed by Vecellio (1521-1601), cousin and pupil of renowned artist Titian. This hidden gem adds an extra layer of beauty to an already stunning work. The photograph captures not only the exterior splendor but also provides a glimpse into the interior decoration. The sickbed depicted within reveals a scene from the 16th century where medicine played a vital role in healing those who were convalescing. The binding straps and clasps on the bed serve as reminders of how important it was to keep patients secure during their recovery. Every page of this classical text is illustrated and decorated with intricate details that transport us back to Renaissance times. It's fascinating to imagine how these illustrations would have aided physicians in diagnosing ailments or prescribing remedies centuries ago. Overall, this print offers us a window into both artistry and medical practices from another era – reminding us of our rich cultural heritage while celebrating advancements made in health over time.
