EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines, a medieval manuscript possibly made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. Created by Mattheaus Platearius in the 12th century and beautifully illuminated by Robinet Testard, this artwork measures 26x35.5 cm and is currently housed at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. The image depicts a scene filled with healing herbs and remedies. On the left side stands Doronicum or Leopards Bane, its vibrant yellow flowers adding a touch of color to the composition. The meticulous attention to detail brings each element to life - from the delicate thymum or thyme shrub to various other medicinal plants that fill every corner. This illustration not only serves as an aesthetic masterpiece but also offers insights into ancient herbal knowledge and practices. It represents a time when healers relied on nature's bounty to cure ailments and promote well-being. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time, imagining ourselves surrounded by ancient wisdom and seeking solace through these curative botanicals. It reminds us of our connection with nature's healing power and how it has been cherished throughout history.
