EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from "The Book of Simple Medicines" by Mattheaus Platearius, a renowned medical treatise dating back to the 12th century. The artwork, created by Robinet Testard in the late 15th century, measures 26x35.5 cm and is currently housed in the National Library of St. Petersburg, Russia. In this intricate composition, we are greeted with a mesmerizing display of nature's healing power. A plumed thistle takes center stage, its delicate purple petals reaching towards the heavens. Adjacent to it stands a vibrant water lily, symbolizing purity and tranquility. Completing this botanical trio is the castor bean plant with its distinctive leaves and striking red flowers. Testard's masterful illumination technique brings these plants to life on velvety vellum pages that have stood the test of time. Each detail is meticulously rendered, showcasing his skill as an artist during the medieval period. This illustration not only serves as a visual feast but also offers valuable insights into herbal remedies used for curative purposes centuries ago. It transports us back in time when knowledge about medicinal plants was treasured and passed down through generations. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry and history combined, let us appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and educational significance—a testament to humanity's enduring quest for well-being throughout the ages.
