EDITORS COMMENTS
Tacuinum Sanitatis: A Medieval Health Handbook - Picking Sour Cherries (Fol. 12r) The intricately illustrated folio 12r from the late 14th-century Tacuinum Sanitatis, a medieval health handbook, showcases the agricultural process of picking sour cherries. This manuscript, believed to have been created before 1400, is an essential agricultural and medicinal guide, detailing the most important aspects of food, beverages, and clothing. The miniature painting depicts a dedicated agriculturist, dressed in mediaeval attire, skillfully climbing a cherry tree, reaching out to pick the ripe, red sour cherries. The tree, laden with fruit, stands tall against a backdrop of a European countryside, with a basket at the farmer's feet to collect the harvest. The Tacuinum Sanitatis emphasizes the significance of cherries in the medieval diet and economy. The process of picking these cherries was an essential part of agricultural life, and the fruit was used for cooking, preserving, and medicinal purposes. The handbook also highlights the importance of proper clothing for farmers, as the man in the painting is dressed appropriately for the task, with a long-sleeved tunic and a hat to protect him from the sun. This exquisite miniature not only serves as a visual representation of the agricultural practices during the late Middle Ages but also as a testament to the importance of cherries in the European diet and economy. The Tacuinum Sanitatis remains an invaluable resource for understanding the agricultural, economic, and medicinal aspects of life during the medieval period.
