EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare glimpse into the world of medicine during the 10th-11th century. The artwork, titled "Medicine: reduction of a dislocated spine, patient is hanged with straps to a ladder" showcases an unknown artist's depiction of a groundbreaking medical procedure. In this manuscript from the Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana in Florence, Italy, we witness an osteopathy and physical therapy technique used to reduce a dislocated spine. The patient is shown suspended by straps on a ladder while receiving treatment. This innovative approach demonstrates the ingenuity and resourcefulness of medical practitioners during this time period. The intricate details and vibrant colors in this illuminated miniature bring life to the scene. The skilled craftsmanship transports us back to an era where healthcare was still evolving but held immense importance in society. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography allows us to appreciate every aspect of this historical artifact. Through her lens, we can explore not only the technical aspects of medicine but also gain insight into societal norms and beliefs surrounding health care during the Middle Ages. This remarkable image serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, doctors and physiotherapists were dedicated to providing quality care for their patients. It stands as testament to human resilience and our constant pursuit of knowledge in improving healthcare practices throughout history.
