EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms Fr. Fv VI #1 fol. 143r Illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines" takes us back in time to the medieval era, offering a glimpse into the daily life and activities of that period. The artwork, created by Mattheaus Platearius around 1470, is beautifully illustrated on vellum by Robinet Testard. The scene depicted in this print showcases a range of tasks and chores being carried out by individuals within a quaint village setting. In the foreground, we see laborers engaged in various activities such as digging with pickaxes, gathering driftwood, and fishing with nets. These tasks were essential for their livelihoods and also played a crucial role in providing medicinal resources for their community. The illumination technique used in this artwork adds an ethereal quality to the scene, enhancing its visual appeal. It transports us to a time when herbal remedies were sought after for curative purposes and highlights the importance of traditional medicine during that era. As we observe this illustration closely, we can appreciate the intricate details captured by Testard's skilled hand. From costumes worn by villagers to tools utilized for different tasks - every element contributes to creating an authentic representation of medieval life. Preserved at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia, this remarkable piece may have been crafted specifically for Louise of Savoy - wife of Charles of Angouleme - adding another layer of historical significance to its value.
