EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured woodblock engraving depicts the highly prized Truffle, Tuber melanosporum, a mushroom species renowned for its distinctive aroma and savory taste. The truffle is shown nestled at the base of a tree, surrounded by tree moss, Muscus arborum. The intricate details of the truffle's rough surface and the delicate veins of the moss are beautifully rendered in this botanical illustration. The Truffle, also known as the black truffle or winter black truffle, is a subterranean ascomycete fungus native to Europe and western Asia. It forms a symbiotic relationship with the roots of certain trees, particularly oak and hazel, and is most commonly found in alkaline soils. The illustration is from Adam Lonicer's Krauterbuch, or Herbal, published in Frankfurt in 1557. This botanical work was one of the most influential herbals of the 16th century and was widely copied and pirated throughout Europe. The present engraving is likely from a 17th century pirate edition or atlas of illustrations, as indicated by the multiple language captions in Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English manuscript. The Truffle was highly valued in medieval and Renaissance Europe for its medicinal properties, believed to cure a variety of ailments from melancholy to gout. Today, it is primarily prized as a delicacy, fetching high prices in international markets and inspiring culinary creations from the finest chefs. The intricate handcoloured woodblock engraving showcases the beauty and allure of this elusive and valuable fungi, a testament to the enduring fascination with the natural world in the early modern period.
