EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored woodblock engraving is an illustration of Grain Variety, Ustilago, Darnel, and Wall Barley, from the renowned botanical work "Krauterbuch" or "Herbal" by Adam Lonicer, published in Frankfurt in 1557. The intricately detailed image showcases four distinct grains: Lolium temulentum, commonly known as darnel or false wild oat, Ustilago, a type of smut fungus affecting cereal crops, Hordeum murinum, or wall barley, and Zizanium, which is believed to represent cockle or tares, a common weed that resembles wheat. The botanical illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of the 16th-century botanical artists and printmakers. The engraving is adorned with vibrant colors, adding depth and texture to the various grains and their accompanying parasitic fungus. The Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English manuscript captions surrounding the image attest to its international dissemination and the widespread interest in botany during the Renaissance period. The "Krauterbuch" or "Herbal" was a groundbreaking work in the field of botany, providing a comprehensive record of various herbs, plants, and their medicinal uses. This particular illustration highlights the importance of understanding the various grains and their potential contaminants, such as Darnel and Cockle, which could adversely affect the quality and yield of crops. The intricate details and precise labeling in this woodcut engraving continue to captivate scholars, historians, and botanists alike, offering a glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration and the evolution of our understanding of the natural world.
