EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured woodblock engraving is a botanical illustration of the Sweet Clover species, Melilotus officinalis, and the Tuberous Hawkbit, Leontodon tuberosus, taken from the Herbal, or Krauterbuch, of the renowned German botanist Adam Lonicer. The illustration, which dates back to the 16th century, is a rare pirate edition or atlas of botanical images, featuring captions in Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English manuscript. The Sweet Clover, also known as Melilotus vera officinalis, is a leguminous plant native to Europe, Asia, and North America. Its distinctive fragrant flowers, which range in color from pink to purple, have long been used for their sweet nectar, making it an essential source of food for bees. The plant was also valued for its medicinal properties, with the roots and leaves used to treat various ailments, including respiratory issues and digestive problems. The Tuberous Hawkbit, or Leontodon tuberosus, is a common European weed with a distinctive tuberous root. The plant is also known as Leontodon pes-leporinus, with pes-leporinus meaning "rabbit foot" in Latin, due to the shape of the tuberous root. The plant was used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, particularly in the treatment of skin conditions and wounds. This beautiful and intricate woodblock engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of botanical illustration during the Renaissance period, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and the impressive knowledge of plants and their medicinal properties that characterized this era. The illustration remains an essential resource for botanists, historians, and anyone interested in the natural world and the history of medicine.
