EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms Fr. Fv VI #1 fol. 168v Illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines" takes us on a journey back in time to medieval France. Created by Mattheaus Platearius around 1470, this illustration is believed to have been made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. The image itself is a visual feast, filled with an array of fascinating elements. Amphibious dragons soar through the sky while mushrooms and exotic animals dot the landscape below. A majestic stag with impressive antlers stands proudly amidst a lush forest, while a beehive hums with activity nearby. Intriguingly, there is also a volcanic eruption taking place in the background, adding an element of danger and awe to the scene. The inclusion of these foreign marvels alongside everyday agricultural scenes highlights the connection between nature and human life during this period. This illuminated manuscript offers glimpses into medieval farming practices as well as herbalism and environmental awareness. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people relied on their surroundings for sustenance and livelihood. Through this print by Robinet Testard, we are transported to another era where daily life revolved around hard work and harmony with nature. It serves as a reminder of our deep-rooted connection to the land and how it has shaped our history throughout time.
