The meticulous attention to detail in this vellum manuscript is awe-inspiring. Each plant is meticulously rendered, highlighting the significance of garlic as both a culinary ingredient and medicinal herb during that era. As we delve into the intricacies of this artwork, it becomes evident that farming practices were not only essential for sustenance but also deeply rooted in cultural traditions. The rich history behind this piece extends beyond its aesthetic appeal.
