EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration from "The Book of Simple Medicines" by Mattheaus Platearius, dating back to the 15th century. The artwork, created on vellum by Robinet Testard, measures 26x35.5 cm and is currently housed in the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. In this particular folio, labeled as Ms Fr. Fv VI #1 fol. 130r Linum, Garden poppies and Abrotanum, we are transported into a world of ancient herbal remedies and curative plants. The intricate details of the illuminated manuscript draw our attention to the delicate linum flowers and vibrant garden poppies that dominate the scene. As we delve deeper into this piece's historical significance, it becomes evident that it was crafted for Charles of Angouleme and Louise of Savoy during their reign in the 15th century. The c16th annotations added later provide further insight into how medicinal practices evolved over time. This mesmerizing image not only offers us a glimpse into medieval medicine but also serves as a testament to the remarkable craftsmanship displayed by artists like Robinet Testard during this era.
