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, found on folio 169v of Ms Fr. Fv VI #1, is a testament to the skill and artistry of Robinet Testard, who beautifully brought this medicinal treatise to life. Measuring at 26x35.5 cm, this vellum masterpiece can be found in the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. It is believed that this medieval manuscript was possibly created for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. The illustration itself depicts a scene filled with natural remedies and healing elements. A chestnut tree stands tall amidst a vibrant landscape adorned with various shrubs and citrus trees. Delicate berries hang from branches while cinnamon sticks add their aromatic touch. This illuminated image transports us back in time when herbal medicine played a crucial role in treating ailments and restoring health. Its intricate details capture the essence of ancient wisdom passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the power nature holds within its grasp – providing both cure and comfort to those seeking relief from their afflictions. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, our connection with plants remains unbroken as they continue to offer us their healing properties.
