1. Title: A Vibrant Display of Clary Sage Varieties - An Exquisite Botanical Illustration from the 16th Century This handcoloured woodblock engraving showcases an enchanting array of Clary Sage varieties, specifically Salvia sclarea, as depicted in Adam Lonicer's renowned herbal, Krauterbuch, or Herbal, published in Frankfurt around 1557. This particular illustration is from a 17th century pirate edition or atlas of the original work, featuring captions in Latin, Greek, French, Italian, and English manuscript. The intricately detailed woodcut showcases several distinct Clary Sage varieties, including Gallitricum, vulgo, orminum, maius, and minus. Clary Sage, a popular herb for both medicinal and culinary uses, is identified by its distinctive, long, slender leaves and pink, purple, or white flowers. The various Clary Sage varieties displayed in this illustration highlight the plant's diverse appearances and subtle differences. Adam Lonicer's Krauterbuch was a seminal work in the field of botany and herbal medicine during the Renaissance period. This exquisite botanical illustration not only showcases the beauty and diversity of Clary Sage but also serves as a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the period's botanical illustrators. The inclusion of captions in multiple languages underscores the international reach and influence of Lonicer's work. This illustration is a must-have for botanical art enthusiasts, historians, and those with an interest in the history of herbal medicine.
