EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a 15th-century manuscript page titled "Cinnamon Seller. Description of medicinal plants and how to prepare them". The artwork, created by an unknown artist, is housed in the Biblioteca Estense in Modena, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The image depicts a scene from the Middle Ages where a merchant is selling cinnamon alongside various other medicinal plants. This manuscript page belongs to the renowned work "Treats on herbs" (Tractatus de herbis) by Pedanius Dioscorides, a Greek physician who lived between 40-90 AD. The illumination and miniature art style used in this piece beautifully captures the essence of commerce and botanical knowledge during that era. It transports us back to medieval times when doctors relied on herbal remedies for healing purposes. Cinnamon holds particular significance as it was highly valued not only for its sweet aroma but also for its medicinal properties. This artwork provides insight into how these plants were prepared and utilized as medicine during the Middle Ages. Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully captured this historical artifact through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. As we admire this photo print, we are reminded of the rich history behind our understanding of health practices and how they have evolved over time.
