EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable work of Roger of Salerno, a prominent figure in 12th-century medicine. The top images depict scenes from Christ's passion, starting with his appearance before Pilate and culminating in his crucifixion. These religious depictions serve as a powerful reminder of the intertwining relationship between faith and healing during medieval times. Beneath these profound illustrations lie equally significant images portraying medical examination and treatment. This serves as a testament to Salerno's reputation as the epicenter of medical learning in the Middle Ages. Located near Naples, Italy, this renowned center attracted scholars and physicians from far and wide who sought to expand their knowledge in various branches of medicine. The manuscript itself dates back to the 14th century and is now housed at the British Museum in London. Its preservation allows us to delve into history and witness firsthand how religion, science, and art converged within one document. Through this photo print, we catch a glimpse into an era where surgeons were also philosophers, physicians were theologians, and healing was seen as both physical restoration and spiritual salvation. It reminds us that our understanding of medicine has evolved over centuries but remains deeply rooted in our collective pursuit for answers about life's mysteries.
