EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from the Treatise on Medicine by Aldebrando da Firenze, a 15th-century text that showcases the medical knowledge of the time. The illustration depicts the application of bloodletting, a common medical practice during the Middle Ages. The scene is set in a Gothic-style room, with intricate details and vibrant colors that reflect the artistic sensibilities of the era. The central figure is a skilled medical professional, dressed in the attire of the time, who is carefully applying leeches to a reclining patient. The patient, with a pained expression, holds a cup to collect the blood that is being drawn. Two assistants stand by, ready to help or provide additional instruments. The room is filled with various medical tools and herbs, reflecting the extensive knowledge and preparation required for such a procedure. This illustration is a testament to the importance of medical knowledge during the Middle Ages and the role of art in documenting and preserving it. The Treatise on Medicine by Aldebrando da Firenze is a valuable resource for understanding the medical practices and beliefs of the time, as well as the artistic styles and techniques of the Gothic period. This image is part of the extensive collection of the Ajuda Library in Lisbon, Portugal, which houses a wealth of historical and cultural treasures. The library's holdings include rare books, manuscripts, and other materials that provide insights into Portugal's rich history and heritage.
