EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable medieval manuscript titled "Influence of the stars on illnesses of the human body" by Albik, M. Dating back to the 15th century, this Tractatus de Pestilencia (vellum) offers a fascinating insight into the connection between astrology and medicine during that era. The image depicts a detailed diagram featuring various zodiac signs and constellations intertwined with different sicknesses. The intricate artwork beautifully captures the essence of Gothic artistry prevalent in medieval manuscripts. A male figure, depicted in his nakedness, represents mankind's vulnerability to these ailments. The manuscript delves into how astrological influences were believed to impact human health. It explores the notion that specific celestial alignments could cause or alleviate diseases such as cancer and other illnesses mentioned within its text. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece, it is impossible not to be transported back in time when superstition played a significant role in understanding medical conditions. This miniature work of art serves as a testament to humanity's eternal quest for knowledge about our bodies' well-being. Preserved within the National University Library in Prague, Czech Republic, this invaluable artifact reminds us of our ancestors' beliefs and their relentless pursuit of answers regarding health and disease. It stands as an enduring symbol of scientific exploration during one of history's most intriguing periods - the Middle Ages.
