EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored woodblock engraving showcases two intriguing herbal specimens: Wood Sage, Teucrium scorodonia, and Red Mint, Mentha rubea. Dating back to the 16th century, this botanical illustration is taken from Adam Lonicer's renowned herbal, Krauterbuch, or Herbal, published in Frankfurt in 1557. This specific print is believed to be from a 17th-century pirate edition or atlas of illustrations, featuring captions in various languages, including Latin, Greek, French, Italian, and English manuscript. Wood Sage, also known as Calamintha sylvatica or Teucrium calamintha, is identified by its woody stems, lanceolate leaves, and small, blue or purple flowers. Historically, Wood Sage was used for medicinal purposes, particularly for treating wounds and sore throats. Red Mint, Mentha rubea, is characterized by its square stems, hairy leaves, and bright red flowers. This herb was commonly used for its aromatic properties, adding a delightful flavor to various dishes and beverages. In the medicinal realm, Red Mint was believed to aid in digestion and soothe stomach ailments. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this woodcut engraving serve as a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The inclusion of multiple language captions highlights the global reach and influence of botanical knowledge during the Renaissance period.
