EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines, created by Mattheaus Platearius in the 12th century. The artwork, found on folio 149r of Ms Fr. Fv VI #1, is a true testament to the beauty and intricacy of medieval manuscript illumination. The image depicts a vibrant bouquet of dianthus flowers in various shades of pink and red. These delicate blooms were highly valued for their curative properties in herbalism and medicinal practices during that time period. At the center top lies a pristine white lily, symbolizing purity and healing. Every detail has been meticulously captured by Robinet Testard, the talented artist behind this masterpiece. From each petal to every stamen and filament, his skillful brushwork brings these botanical wonders to life. It is believed that this particular manuscript was possibly made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. As we admire this remarkable piece at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia, we are transported back to an era where remedies and cures were sought through nature's bounty. Let us marvel at the artistry displayed within these pages as we delve into a world where knowledge met creativity with stunning results. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of our rich historical heritage but also highlights the enduring power that art possesses to captivate hearts across centuries.
