EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Ms Lat 993 L. 9.28 fol. 136r Collecting Turpentine" transports us back in time to the 15th century, where we witness a scene from Pedanius Dioscorides' renowned Tractatus de Herbis. This exquisite vellum artwork, created by an Italian School artist, now resides in the Biblioteca Estense in Modena, Italy. In this image, we are immersed in the ancient practice of collecting turpentine – a resin extracted from conifers and used medicinally as a liniment. The meticulous attention to detail captures every aspect of this process: from the towering pine trees that provide the precious sap to the skilled individuals carefully harvesting it. As we delve into botanical history through this masterpiece, we gain insight into medieval knowledge and practices surrounding plants and their healing properties. The terebinth plant takes center stage here; its oleoresin being collected for its essential oil with medicinal purposes. This artwork not only showcases the artistic talent of its creator but also serves as a testament to humanity's eternal fascination with nature's bounty and our quest for understanding its potential benefits. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people recognized and harnessed nature's power for healing purposes. Through Bridgeman Images' fine art reproduction, this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate both historical craftsmanship and our enduring connection with plants as sources of medicine – an everlasting reminder that nature has always been our greatest ally in matters of health
