EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating piece of medieval art, the "Nova 2644 fol. 40r Mandrake" from Tacuinum Sanitatis. Created by the Italian School in the 14th century, this vellum manuscript is held at the Osterreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, Austria. The image depicts a mandrake plant, surrounded by intricate details and vibrant colors that bring it to life on paper. However, what makes this artwork truly intriguing is the historical context behind it. In medieval times, it was believed that whoever pulled out a mandrake root would face certain death. To overcome this perilous task, people resorted to chaining dogs to the root and enticing them with food or treats until they inadvertently uprooted it. This unique practice reveals not only the superstitions prevalent during that era but also highlights how plants were perceived as powerful remedies and narcotics. The mandrake itself was considered an aphrodisiac and medicinal plant with various uses in traditional medicine. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported back in time to witness both artistic beauty and cultural beliefs intertwined within one frame. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' curious customs while showcasing their creativity through exquisite craftsmanship on delicate vellum pages.
