EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the historical manuscript, "Ms Fr. Fv VI #1 fol. 124r" filled with intricate illustrations of medicinal plants. The top row features Aristolochia Rotundi and Aristolochia Longua, while the bottom row displays Armoise and Artemesia. These stunning botanical drawings were created by Robinet Testard during the 15th century for Charles of Angouleme and Louise of Savoy. The Simple Book of Medicines, written by Matteaus Platearius in the 12th century, served as a valuable resource for herbal remedies and curative practices. This particular illustration captures the essence of medieval medicine through its vibrant colors and meticulous details. The illuminated manuscript is adorned with c16th annotations that further enhance its significance as a medical treatise. Printed on vellum measuring 26x35.5 cm, this piece now resides in the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to an era where knowledge was preserved through beautifully crafted manuscripts like these—testaments to human curiosity and our quest for understanding nature's healing powers.
