EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines, specifically Ms Fr. Fv VI #1 fol. 152r. Created by Mattheaus Platearius in around 1470, this medieval manuscript is believed to have been made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. The artwork, measuring 26x35.5 cm and housed in the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia, was skillfully executed by Robinet Testard (fl. 1470-1523). The focal point of this enchanting image is the Herba Sacra or Vervain Sage on the left side, revered for its divine healing powers during that era. This herbal remedy was highly regarded for its curative properties and played a significant role in medieval medicine. Intricately illuminated with vibrant colors and intricate details, this illustration also features other medicinal plants such as sow thistle (sonchus oleraceus) and endiuia agrestis alongside various symbols associated with healing. As we delve into this mesmerizing piece of artistry, it transports us back to a time when healers relied on nature's bounty to cure ailments and mend broken bones—a testament to humanity's eternal quest for well-being.
