EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured woodblock engraving is an illustration of Cretan oregano, Origanum onites, and wild thyme, Thymus serpyllum, taken from the Herbal, or Krauterbuch, of the renowned German botanist Adam Lonicer, published in Frankfurt in 1557. The intricately detailed image showcases the distinctive features of these two herbs native to Crete, with their slender stems adorned with tiny, oval leaves and white, pink, or purple flowers. Cretan oregano, also known as Origanum onites, was highly valued in ancient Greece for its pungent aroma and medicinal properties. It was traditionally used to flavor meat dishes, as well as for its therapeutic benefits, including the relief of respiratory issues and digestive problems. Wild thyme, or Thymus serpyllum, was also widely used in ancient Greece for its medicinal properties, particularly for treating coughs, colds, and bronchitis. This particular illustration is believed to be from a 17th century pirate edition or atlas of the Herbal, which features captions in Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English manuscript. The use of multiple languages reflects the widespread popularity and cultural significance of these herbs across Europe during this period. The intricate woodblock engraving technique, combined with the vibrant handcoloring, adds to the beauty and historical significance of this botanical masterpiece.
